I am back in circulation!

Loyal readers of my blog will wonder where I have been. Have I disappeared down the great plug-hole of history? No, I have been travelling in mainland Europe. On 12 July I took off from Gatwick for Vienna where I stayed for 3 weeks. Why Vienna? Well, my "step-daughter", Kamila, lives in that city with her husband and two their two young children. Wanda, Kamila's mother who is Polish came to Vienna at the same time as I did and we attended the Christening of her two granddaughters together. We then stayed in Kamila's flat for 3 weeks visiting all the interesting parts of Vienna as well as engaging in family activities. You can see many photos of Vienna on my Flickr Photo Gallery and here is the link. http://www.flickr.com/photos/hova After our successful spell in Vienna Wanda and I went by bus to Radom in Poland which is her native city via Bratislava, Slovakia. We spent some days in Radom and round about. We then went on a very interesting trip to Lwow in the Ukraine. There have been disputes between and her neighbours: Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Belarus, Germany over the centuries. Currently, Lwow is in the Ukraine and it is the most interesting and attractive city. On our return to Radom we spent some more days in that city before I went down to Salesesia where an old acquaintance of mine, Jim Parton is living in some style with his new Polish wife, Anna. more about that another day. Attached to this posting are 6 representative photos. I remind you that if you wish to see all the photos form those memorable 6 weeks I boringly repeat the link which you must click. http://www.flickr.com/photos/hova Happy viewing.
