In July, I went to Zakopane, Poland, for a hiking holiday. It’s one of my absolute favourite places in the world, and the mountains are stunning. I already posted about my hikes to Kasprowy Wierch and to Czerwone Wierchy. Today, I’m going to take you to Karb – a spot I didn’t know about until the day I went there, partly by accident. It’s not a well known trail, but it’s actually phenomenal and I can recommend it if you’re visiting Tatra Mountains.

Leczo – Polish Bell Pepper Stew – Autumn Meals
We’ve been spoiled with a hot summer in London this year, but a couple of cooler days last week were a great reminder that autumn is slowly approaching. And to me, autumn is the time for cosy, warming, comfort meals. There are a few autumnal dishes that my Mum only made when the required ingredients were in season. One of such recipes are knedle – potato dumplings with plums. You can find a recipe for those on my blog. I’ve already made them this year, they are delicious! An example of a savoury autumnal meal that I’ve always loved is leczo – a bell pepper stew. So a few days ago, I decided to recreate it. I put a little twist on it to use ingredients available in the UK, but it turned out great! It’s simple to make and certainly hits the spot. Give it a go!

One of my New Year’s Resolutions for this year was to learn to crochet. It’s been a steep learning curve so far, but I’ve managed to make some progress. I’ve been able to make cute avocado coasters, but also a whole 3D tiger plushie. This time, I chose to work on a cute star keyring. I managed to successfully complete the project, and learnt a few things in the process!

It feels like it’s been a while since I last posted a new cross stitch project! I enjoyed some other crafts recently – some of them, like the acrylic stained glass ornament, you can already see on the blog. A few others will be shared soon. But today, I’d like to share with you a cross stitch project featuring a bee with a floral wreath. I have plenty of cross stitch sets at home waiting for their turn, but the colour scheme of this bee caught my eye. Also, a little fun fact: a bee is the symbol of Manchester, a city in Northern England that I often travel to for work. I actually took this project with me for a train journey to Manchester!

This year, I had the pleasure of spending my summer holidays hiking in Tatra Mountains, in the south of Poland. It’s one of my favourite places in the world, and it’s truly beautiful! Last week, I took you on a hike to Kasprowy Wierch, one of Poland’s most famous mountains. Today, I’m taking you to Czerwone Wierchy – a long but picturesque trail through 4 mountain peaks. It includes some of the easiest to climb peaks over 2000 metres above the sea level that you can find in Poland. Join me on the photo trip!

One of my goals for this year has been to learn to crochet. I originally tried to make the first steps last year, but gave up almost right away. This year, I’ve actually managed to learn the basics, starting my journey with crocheted Easter eggs. More recently, I made some cute avocado coasters. Today, I’d like to share with you my most recent project – a crocheted tiger plushie. I used an assorted DIY kit and managed to successfully complete the project without major issues. Here is how it went!

This year, I decided to spend my summer holiday in one of my all-time favourite places in the world – the beautiful Tatra Mountains in the south of Poland. I’ve hiked in those mountains many times in the past, but not in the last 10 years or so, and I was longing to go back. In today’s post, I’ll take you on a hike to the top of Kasprowy Wierch – one of the most popular peaks in Poland, with wonderful views.
