If you thought I’d be done with cross stitching by now, surprise! My addiction continues strong as ever. This time, I completed probably the quickest design to date – a cute flamingo. With just four colours and a straightforward design, it only took me one afternoon to complete.

I love hiking. I was lucky to grow up in the south of Poland, close to Silesian Beskids Mountains, and hiking was one of our favourite choices for a weekend family daytrip. Now that I thoroughly enjoy living in London, one of the things I miss the most are mountain trails. When I flew back home to spend Easter holidays with my family, we managed to organise a hiking daytrip and went on Barania Gora – the second highest peak of Silesian Beskids mountain range.

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you probably know that I love trying out new crafts. I have a fair amount of experience with paper quilling under my belt, I’ve recently been in love with cross stitching, but I have also done loads of drawing, painting, and more. This time, I decided to have a go at working with plaster of Paris, with a Terrazzo Crafts DIY Kit. Come and see how it went.

Today, I’m taking you to a green oasis in West London – the WWT Wetland Centre. I noticed it while scrolling through Google Maps a long time ago and had it on my list of places to visit in London ever since, but there was never the right time for it – until recently. I had a day off and wanted to explore a new place, but the weather forecast was rather poor for all of England and I didn’t want to risk going out of London to be caught by rain and forced to spend the whole daytrip hiding in some cafe. So, I thought, why not visit the London Wetland Centre! Far enough to call it a trip, close enough to not feel too disappointed should the weather ruin it.

Surprise surprise! I’ve completed yet another cross stitch project – who would have thought, right? A few months have passed since I found this new hobby and I’m still thoroughly enjoying it. I even managed to infect my sister with this cross stitching bug, and now we’re stitching together! I flew back home for Easter holidays and my sister surprised me with a cross stitch kit that she had bought for me, and it was a perfect project for the holiday period. Let me present my latest completed cross stitch project – a vibrant hummingbird.

One of my favourite things about living in London is how diverse it is in terms of landscape and things to do. You may live in a metropolis with nearly 10 million inhabitants, but if you fancy a taste of the countryside, it’s just around the corner. When I discovered London urban farms, I was over the moon and they quickly became some of my top go-to places on a chilled Saturday morning. Today, I wanted to share with you one of my personal favourite places in London – Mudchute Farm.
