The Wonders of Fall

One of my unpopular opinions: fall is the best season ever! I know it's hard to believe but every year I just can't wait for the summer to finally end. I truly hate the hot weather when I'm sweating even if I'm staying indoors and trying not to move at all. It's obviously nice to play in the pool outside or drink cold smoothies during hot summer days, but for me summer could last for a week or two and that would be just enough.
But now I survived another summer and I'm finally free to enjoy all the wonderful things I love about the fall! The sun is perfect: not as insanely hot as during the summer but still gives a lot of warmth and not only light as it does in the winter. Also the solar arc is lower in the sky and the sun rays shine through the colourful leaves at the perfect angle. The leaves seem to be all kinds of precious gems and jewels: ambers, rubies and emeralds.

Another thing I love about the fall is the variety of fruit and vegetables that you can pick right from your garden, like apples, pears, grapes and pumpkins. My mum makes the best pumpkin soup in the world! And what a better snack on a rainy afternoon than a piece of an apple pie accompanied by a glass of hot milk with honey!

I could really go on and on about all of my favourite things about the fall: chilly, foggy mornings, huge sweaters, golden hours and gossamer threads floating in the air, but honestly I don't want to waste another second on sitting in front of the computer. I'm gonna go outside and fully enjoy this beautiful sunny october afternoon and I recommend you do the same:)

My Place On Earth

Obraz
Today I'm going to tell you a little bit about my family and my roots. Both my Mom's and my Dad's grandparents after the World War II decided to settle in Lower Silesia, the land that was reclaimed by Poland after the war, in exchange of some teritories in the East that were attached to the Soviet Union. Both of my parents were born and raised in the same small village right next to the city of Wrocław, called Długołęka (the name could be translated to English as "long meadow"). What's more, they were both born in the same year so starting from nursery school they went to the same class. They even danced together a traditional Polish dance "krakowiak" during one of the performances in the nursery school. (Pesonally I think that's adorable!). They were each other's high school sweet-hearts and after getting married they decided they wanted to stay in Długołęka. They built a house there in which we all live right now. And by "us all...

The Dark World of Harlan Coben

Obraz
I'm not completely sure why but I really enjoy watching crime shows. There's just something so compelling about slowly revealing all the secrets and finding out who is the murderer. Of course, not every crime series is great but I've recently seen two terrific ones and I'd like to tell you a little bit about them. Both of them are based on Harlan Coben's novels. I've never read any of them but Coben is a writer and a producer on both shows, so I guess they are pretty faithful to the original books. One is called The Stranger , the other is called Safe . They are actually very similar to each other and a viewer can find many parallels between the two of them, both plot-wise and characters-wise.  Both stories are set in the same background; in a suburban community of very successful and wealthy people. At first sight it seems like their lives are perfect and there is no place for any kind of darkness or horror there. However, not so far into the shows ...

My Favourite Scents

You know how they say that most people are visual learners and others have more developed sense of hearing? But why do we take into consideration only these two senses and don't talk about the other ones? Some time ago I realised that smells, scents, odours and aromas are a huge part of my reality. They have the power to ease my mind and help me relax. They can trigger memories that I didn't know I still remembered. For example when I start using again a shampoo that I used to wash my hair with some time ago, suddenly my mind is filled with images and memories from that period. Or when my mum makes exactly the same apple pie that she would make when I was a kid and I can smell just a hint od its aroma, I'm immediately taken back to my childhood. So, today let me present you some of my favourite scents. It's such a pity I can't pass them on to you through the screen and only talk about them, but you can always use your imagination or maybe even surround yourself...
