Yes, I know I’ve neglected this fair place for a long period of time. But this is just a message to say that I sort of have an excuse for it for a few weeks.

I’ll be off on holiday to Poland early tomorrow morning for nearly two weeks. I’m looking forward to it. I’m meeting up with some Polish friends of mine that moved to our town last year.

We fly into Katowice airport, then by bus to Krakow where we’ll stop for three days and hire a car. We also plan to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp while we’re there. Then we take a long drive north to the Masurian lakes where we stay for seven nights. While we’re there, we’ll visit Gdansk and Sopot. After that, we’ll spend a night in Poland’s capital, Warsaw, before returning home to Britain.

I predict my little sojourn will be a haze of alcohol with the odd educational period in between. I’m looking forward to it and I should have a whale of a time. I’ll be sure to post some pics of my trip on the Images of Lancashire blog on my return.

Toodle pip!
