This year, for the first time I'm taking part as a volunteer in Akcja Żonkile (Daffodil campaign) organised by Muzeum Historii Żydów Polskich POLIN to commemorate the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising that started on 19 April 1943. If you are in Warsaw, here is an invitation from me to collect a paper daffodil from my post in Warsaw Praga this Saturday morning.

Every year just before Easter, Sinfonia Varsovia orchestra gives a free concert to residents of Warsaw Kamionek in South Praga where they are based. And they did it again last night.

We listened to two pieces of Avro Part (I particularly recommend Tabula Rasa), one piece of Peteris Vasks, who I hadn't heard before, and one of Johann Sebastian Bach. The almost two-hour concert was magical. Here is just a glimpse from the event. It did set me in the right mood.

I'm still in the delight of unexpected May in March we're experiencing in Warsaw. And so I simply had to go out for an evening stroll through the Skaryszewski Park, along Francuska Street in beloved Saska Kępa. The lights, the colours, the joy.

🌱 Spring in Warsaw. We're currently experiencing a wave of exceptional warmth for this time of the year with temperatures in the region of 15 Celsius (59 F).

🐥Mandarine ducks in the gorgeous Skaryszewski Park are enjoying the rapid change of the weather as well. See their morning bath and playing tag. Such a surprise to come across them and a great fun to watch. 😍

Huh, yet another piece about disbelief at Warsaw becoming a vegan capital of Europe.

Herring, sausage? Yes, but the number of vegan restaurants in Warsaw grows steadily. Here are a couple of pics from my favourite local plant-based dining place. Yummy.

Hi! Introducing a short video with a new type of content - a short book presentation relating to my next tour. My next tour is going to be of Nowy Świat Street (yet to be posted), and one of many remarkable people who lived here was Ron Jeffery a British soldier who fought during the 2nd WW in the Polish underground Home Army.
It'd be great if after watching the film you could share your thoughts of what you think of the new content idea.

Today, as every year an empty tram with David’s star will be running across Warsaw.
