After earlier successful attempts at “the Dumpling” today we decided to tackle Ben A’an which is a reasonably serious mountain for little climbers. OK, it is not exactly a proper mountain as I found out later. It is merely a piece of rock on the south side of the less known Meall Gainmheich (no idea [...]
We have recently discovered the Scottish Dumpling. If you haven’t come across this speciality it is a round shaped piece of dough (usually with dried fruit and spices) cooked or steamed in a piece of cloth (preferably not used for washing the floor before). However, in our story the Dumpling is not a type of [...]
Some photos from the last weeks… / Kilka zdjęć z ostatnich tygodni…
It seems only a short while ago when our Benio was born but the time few by with a speed of light and he is now a big and happy 1 year old boy with his own favourite things to do in life, such as smiling, drinking milk and scattering the contents of bathroom cabinets [...]
Stefan seems to have a real interest in fighting. We thought that instead of exercising his hobby with Patryk and Kuba it would be better for him to join more structured physical activities. Mary recently found a class called “Tae-Kwon-Do – Little Tiger Cubs” for children aged 3-5 which we hoped might channel Stefan’s energy [...]
I think it is fair to say that summer in Scotland is over. The days are becoming shorter and the usual wet and windy weather accompanies our daily routine. However, some consolation is coming from the warm memories of our holidays in July…
This year we decided to be adventurous and instead of flying we braved [...]
Dzisiaj nasz mały Benio został prawdziwym chrześcijaninem. Uroczystość udzielenia sakramentu chrztu odbyła się na oczach całej parafii i nasz dzielny chłopczyk pokazał, że potrafi się godnie zachować w przełomowych momentach życia. Rodzice chrzestni Elizabeth i Adrian również byli dumni ze swojego nowego chrześniaka, który świecił przykładem swoim niesfornym braciom. Po mszy Benon zaprosił wszystkich na [...]
This is something we have not done as a family for a very loooong time, a proper mountain climbing expedition. Perhaps because we felt there wasn’t enough of us to venture on such an adventure. Of course “mountain expedition” needs to be understood figuratively here because the mountain (or rather a hill) we attempted was [...]
The past two days were busier than ever but very happy for us all. The 3 big brothers Kuba, Stefan and Patryk love their tiny baby and are delighted with another boy in the family… and so are we. Benon is a good natured solid character but full of his own ideas and opinions, typical [...]
We are delighted to announce that we have four boys now. Benon Paul was born today at 5:37pm after a rather speedy but complication free delivery. He weights 9lb 4oz and is 59cm long, and is the biggest boy born in our family to date. Mary and wee Ben are doing well and will be [...]
