Miscellaneous

My dears,


please look at the nativity scene in the charming wooden church in Sulistrowiczki, a few steps from the Fairytale Green Hill. The angel plays Christmas carols, which creates a very festive atmosphere. It's worth looking, listening and reflecting…

szopka Sulistrowiczki m.jpg

My dears,


Let's stay in the Christmas atmosphere of warmth, warmth and magic. I hope that the poem about Santa Claus will put you in a joyful mood, as colorful as Christmas tree lights.

My dears,


I think it's time for Christmas wishes.
I wish you Christmas wonders!

My dears,


Just before Christmas, I wish you lots of reasons to be happy and smile.
Working on the new fairy tale "The Footstool" put me in a great mood.

My dears,


December darkness is brightened by lamps and illuminations. I wish you bright moments in this extraordinary time...

My dears,


Yesterday Ania prepared gingerbread. Are yours already baked and decorated?

My dears,


This year's pre-Christmas time is full of surprises. Well, I received the Jubilee Book dedicated to Professor Aleksander Woźny, in which I had the honor to include my essay. The professor was the supervisor of my doctoral dissertation and remained a guide on the scientific path and spiritual support on the literary trail. I also discovered a dedication in the Book, another beautiful surprise.

My dears,


This year's Christmas is full of wishes from Prince Edward Island. A Christmas card from George Campbell, a relative of Lucy Maud Montgomery, made me very happy.

My dears,
I was going to write about yesterday's encounter with a fairy tale. I promise I will write tomorrow.
Today, as a member of the Polish Section of IBBY, I want to show you a card with a beautiful and important message.

My dears,


It's already very festive and colorful in Wrocław. It is worth going for a walk to soak up the fairy-tale atmosphere for a while.

swiateczny Wroclaw m.jpg

My dears,
May today's gray day be brightened up by a charming flutterby and a shy trudger.

Good morning dears :)


I would like to wish you that on this special December day, which most of you probably wait for all year long, Santa Claus will be especially kind to you and bring lots of gifts :)
And I cordially invite you to read fairy tales on Sunday.

My dears,


Please look at the fruit smelling of summer in December.

owoce m.jpg

My dears,


Don't children dream about such views outside the window? Fairytale, magical and beautiful.

snieg swierki m.jpg
snieg swierki 2 m.jpg

My dears,


Please look at the marzipan Moomin.

Not only is it beautiful and very Moomin-like, but it is also tasty.

My dears,


December welcomed us with snow and a bit of sun. There is a lot of fairy-tale in the winter and Christmas atmosphere...

magia swiat m.jpg

My dears,


It's nice to reflect and smoke a pipe in the company of a charming lady, sitting in a comfortable armchair like a forest elf, isn't it?

dieta filona_m.jpg

My dears,


I remember from my childhood that in the winter, my dearest grandmother fed the rooks. She respected all birds, but had a special fondness for rooks. That's probably why I keep an eye out for rooks in squares and in the air...

gawron.jpg

My dears,


I cordially invite you to the Herbal Tea House in Sobótka for a Christmas meeting with a fairy tale.

Ulotka_bozonarodzeniowa m.jpg

My dears,


Last evening I was amazed by a wonderfully fairy-tale sight that I would like to share with you.

Wroclaw noca m.jpg

My dears,


I wish you a sunny day. You can feel winter coming in the air...

Weronika sniezynki 2 m.jpg

My dears,


the view outside the window can be delightful, melancholic, picturesque, sad, in short, diverse. But isn't the window through which we look at the world important?

The one in the Herbal Tea House in Sobótka is exceptionally nice.

okno kawiarni m.jpg

My dears,


It's almost time to write letters to Santa Claus. I guess it's time to think about gifts, prepare an envelope and sharpen your pencils...

poczta sw Mikolaja m.jpg

My dears,


on the way to Fairy Tale Green Gables, it's nice to stop for tea at the Herbal Tea House in Sobótka. It is an extremely captivating place.

herbaciarnia ziolowa m.jpg

My dears,


melancholy November was brightened by flowers that bloomed beautifully like harbingers of a distant spring.

My dears,
"The Entombment" by Tadeusz Myczkowski is a moving picture reflecting the seriousness of the publication edited by Professor Aleksander Woźny, in which I had the honor to publish my article. Narrative medicine intertwining the paths of doctors and humanists is an important idea focused on the patient's story and perspective. The reader's joy from a literary encounter with a sensitive narrator is similar to the comfort that the presence of a humanist doctor brings to the patient's life. I am glad that the book includes texts by both doctors and humanists. Thanks to the determination of Professor Aleksander Woźny, another step towards the humanization of medicine was taken, this time in the Wrocław community.

Książka Medycyna narracyjna m.jpg

My dears,


pleasantly absorb the atmosphere and charm of some places, sipping aromatic, hot coffee with the wonderful name "Roman Holidays"...

rzymskie wakacje m.jpg

My dears,
Mushrooms appeared in Ania's grandmother and grandfather's garden. They grew, they grew like the balloon from the poem "My Little Balloon" until they became bigger. Please look how impressive they are.

My dears,


In the fall, the orchid surprised me when a bud appeared on its branch.

Storczyk.JPG

Good morning dears :)


Today I have the great pleasure of presenting a very short, culinary brochure, published by the Printex publishing house, dedicated to the recipes of my grandmother - Weronika. I created the booklet based on the recipes contained in this booklet. I invite you to read it to lovers of strawberry shortcakes, sponge cake pancakes, apples in dressing gowns, cheesecake donuts, sorrel soup, pickled apples, "purple sweetness" and Sunday rice cake with fruit :)
I encourage you to cook according to Grandma Weronika's recipes :)

My dears,


please look at the original autumn composition.

wrzosowa kompozycja m.jpg

My dears,


the November viola bloomed wonderfully. This brings hope for a warm autumn.

kwitnacy fiolek m.jpg

My dears,


today I am attaching my poem.

I dedicate it to a very dear person who I miss every day...

wiersz cisi m.jpg

My dears,


time captured in a photograph allows you to retain a wonderful moment in your memory...

pamiatkowe zdjecie m.jpg

My dears,


On this special November day, I will tell you about the Poet, My Grandmother. Please read the poem.

wiersz 1.jpg

My dears,


Pumpkin spiders are impressive, aren't they?

dyniowe pajaki m.jpg

My dears,


Viola has prepared a wonderful surprise for me, hasn't it? Please look at the curled buds that will soon develop into flowers.

kwitnacy fiolek m.jpg

My dears,


November spells are just around the corner... Ania and I like our nice witch on a broom, a candy container with a fancy ball and a strange pumpkin.

dynia i czarownica m.jpg

My dears,


autumn spoils us with colors. You just have to look carefully to spot them.

rozowe kwiaty 1m.jpg

My dears,


October at Fairy Tale Green Gables means mushrooms, roses, nuts, chestnuts, colorful leaves, morning mists and heavy rain at dusk. It's wonderful to be immersed in such autumn.

barwny pazdziernik m.JPG

My dears,


What would autumn be without the taste and smell of mushrooms...

My dears,


despite the autumn season, the rose bush blooms tirelessly. Please look at the photo.

krzew rozany 2m.JPG

My dears,


it became rainy, foggy and humid. With the rain, mushrooms appeared on Fairy Green Gables.

grzyby 2m.jpg

Good morning dears :)


Even though it's autumn and rain outside, I wish you a wonderful weekend and invite you to read fairy tales on Sunday.

My dears,


please look at the photo. As you can see, November scarecrows also like flowery meadows. Well, I suspect that it's more pleasant to be scared in beautiful scenery than in dark alleys that we naturally fear.

dyniowe strachy m.JPG

My dears,


It's wonderful to blend in with the autumn colors. It's wonderful to collect bouquets of colorful leaves. It's wonderful to wade through a rustling carpet, isn't it?

W kolorach m.JPG

My dears,


roses are incredibly poetic. When I look at them, I feel poems emerging. These autumn ones have something melancholic about them, like longing for the past summer...

Jesienne roze 2m.JPG
Jesienne roze 1m.JPG

My dears,


autumn is generous and does not skimp on gifts. What Ania likes most is walking, wading through the leaves and picking chestnuts.

My dears,


Wrocław's dwarves have settled down in the city for good. In fact, they have become an object of interest for both children and tourists. Please look at another busy little guy.

Krasnal z taczka m.JPG

My dears,


When I was a little girl, I liked to watch cacti growing in long pots in my grandmother's room. I probably have a fondness for thorny and amazing plants from that time. Please look how extraordinary they are.

My dears,


the lawn in the Botanical Garden became pumpkin-like, fairy-tale-like and dwarf-like. Please look.

dyniowe krasnoludki m.jpg

My dears,


It's nice to look at beauty, isn't it?

My dears,


Last weekend, the Botanical Garden in Wrocław was dominated by pumpkins in all their forms, with "Pumpkin Scares on Lachy" taking the lead.

Festiwal dyni m.JPG

My dears,
the leaves change colors and dance in the wind. Autumn is a poet, so it is worth immersing yourself in this poetry.

My dears,


I wish you a wonderful weekend and long autumn walks.

My dears,


Please look how autumn can surprise you with spring beauty.

zimowity m.jpg

My dears,
the pumpkin snowman made his home in Grandma and Grandpa Ania's garden. Isn't he nice?

My dears,


Do you remember your school days when you used to look for autumn treasures? We can probably consider the October strawberries from Ania's pot to be autumn gifts. Please look how wonderfully caressed by the sun.

My dears,


I wish you a wonderful autumn day. This nice owl surprises walkers in the park near Topacz Castle.

ogrodowa sowa.JPG

My dears,
autumn is in the air. September says goodbye to chestnuts, pumpkins, acorns and fruit in the orchards.

My dears,

Today I will return to the pumpkin trip once again and invite you to the pumpkin fields.

My dears,

Fans of pumpkin curiosities should go to the village of Ligota Mała, located near Wrocław. Today I will show you photos of the stalls. Tomorrow you will see a pumpkin field, which I was able to photograph thanks to the courtesy of a nice host. Apparently in summer it is worth going to this extraordinary place to buy watermelons.

My dears,

in the town of Salo on Lake Garda there is my favorite cafe. It was there that I met a Polish painter who immortalized the cafe in a watercolor. Thanks to this, I can sip coffee, look at the place where time has stopped and miss it a little...

kawiarnia Salo m.jpg

My dears,

Autumn can already be felt on Fairy Tale Green Gables. On this beautiful September day, I met someone nice from years ago. I wish you such wonderful meetings.

jesienny ogrod m.jpg

My dears,
Please look how Ania is getting ready for autumn.

Jesienna kompozycja m.jpg

My dears,

There was an autumn mood at Fairy Tale Green Gables. The air smells of rain and the wind knocks off the first leaves.

My dears,

Ania has been painting pumpkins and observing chestnuts for some time. Please look at her autumn garden.

dynie m.JPG

My dears,

I wish you a beautiful autumn day. This year's autumn spoils us with sun and warmth...

jesienne zyczenia m.jpg

My dears,
For as long as I can remember, something intangible and a bit of longing, sadness and melancholy have captivated me in the pianist's monument. Staring at the pond, as if looking for inspiration...

Pomnik pianisty m.jpg

My dears,

this year's end of summer is warm and sunny. Slowly, September bushes, flowers and leaves will change to autumn colors. Take a look at the beauty that surrounds us.

My dears,
There is a dwarf in Ania's school. He probably brings luck to the students and sometimes gives some advice.

szkolny skrzat m.jpg

My dears,

Recently, I have been reading Lucy Maud Montgomery's biography, which involuntarily takes me to Prince Edward Island.
Therefore, when I found an envelope addressed to me in the mailbox yesterday with an album and a map of Prince Edward Island, I decided that it could not be an ordinary coincidence.
I highly recommend both the book and the tour.

Zielone Wzgorze ksiazki m.jpg

My dears,

flowered balconies are extremely romantic. This one captivated me with its beauty.

Ukwiecony balkon m.jpg

Good morning dears :)

Recently, we often reach for "A Sicilian Tale. The Journey of Felix the Leprechaun." Therefore, I would like to especially thank Arti Publishing House, thanks to which this book was published. I would like to thank all the people from this publishing house, as well as Mrs. Barbara Rogala, who has been running it for many years.
See you next Sunday at the fairy tale reading :)

My dears,

During today's walk, Ania and I spotted three squirrels. We managed to photograph one in a graceful jump. Please look - finesse and grace.

wiewiorka m.jpg

My dears,

Thank you with all my heart for your birthday wishes and remembering. Please look at the card I received from my Ania.

My dears,

autumn strawberries are slowly ripening in the mild September sun. May they be sweet and fragrant.

My dears,

With September came the time of red, gold, yellow and red. Soon the leaves will change colors. Today I am sending you a photo of autumn colored flowers.

My dear,
In autumn, the book "Recipes of Grandma Weronika" will be published, in which I collected some of the recipes of My Dearest Grandmother and a poet at the same time. I published a collection of grandmother's poems years ago. I thought that a joint work deserves joint photos of women from slightly different eras, but in photos of the same age ...

Portret babci i wnuczki.jpg

My dear,

September roses bloom beautifully like summer flowers. Let's soak up the sun with them before the cloudy and rainy time comes.

wrzesniowe roze 2m.jpg

My dear,

Coffee is a must in the first week of the school year. Ania is studying diligently, and I am working on a series of books with poems, which will soon be published by ARTI Publishing House. Short, informative and beautifully illustrated stories will be reading for the youngest.

czarna kawa m.jpg

Good morning dears :)

On the occasion of the beginning of the school year, I wish you all Fridays, great friendships, wonderful teachers, and a very, very fairy-tale time at school :)

My dear,
I am sending you a bit of the countryside right next to the Fairytale Green Gables. Idyllic, angelic...

My dear,

take a look at the wonderful garden in Sobótka. Mysterious alleys stimulate the imagination.

My dear,

a flock of goats roams the forest on Fairytale Green Gables. Quite a bunch!

My dear,
on the threshold of autumn, the memory of a summer afternoon came back to me. It would be nice to sit in a white chair in a flowery alley...

ukwiecony zaulek m.jpg

My dear,

They say "the devil is in the detail". It's hard to disagree with that. It is important not to take the proverbial "devil" too literally.

kran zabka m.jpg

My dear,

it got a little colder. It's the perfect time for hot tea.

skrzat z czajniczkiem m.jpg

My dear,

in Ania's tomato garden, despite the heat, everything grows, matures and turns red.

tomato m.JPG

Good morning dears :)

After quite a long absence, the cacti gave me quite a surprise and took on unusual shapes and sizes. Please take a look at one of my cactus collections. One grimaced a lot in search of the sun and the other grew unusually. Maybe it's time to write something about cacti :

Good morning dears :)

I wish you a nice holiday day. Despite the heat, spend time on ice cream, a walk, maybe in a swimming pool. Enjoy the last days of your vacation.

My dear,

holiday souvenirs stop time and bring back memories. This one is special because I have a great weakness for cacti.

kaktus pamiatka m.jpg

My dear,

charming alleys seem to hold secrets, don't they?

Tajemniczy zaulek m.jpg

My dear,


on a hot day, a sip of cool water with a slice of lemon brings blissful refreshment.

My dear,


a wonderful, fairy-tale castle has hidden on the island among the greenery. Delightful, affecting the imagination of a writer, painter or poet.

zamek m.jpg

My dear,


young olives ripen on the branches of long-lived trees, perfect for an afternoon snack. They will soon find their way into jars and southern dishes.

My dear,


in hot weather, it is pleasant to crouch on the rocks and put your feet on a mossy stone. I like to watch the waves crashing on the shore and look into the distance at the sun-drenched mountains.

brzeg jeziora m.jpg

My dear,


a green lizard, tamed with the curiosity of passers-by and onlookers, walks along a path heated by the sun.

jaszczurka m.jpg

My dear,


Turtles, calm as stones, doze in the air quivering with the sun.

My dear,
in a bookstore that smelled of books, I discovered wonderful notebooks. Just write, write and write...

zeszyciki m.jpg

My dear,


please look at lemons with a delicate, sweet and sour taste. Big, juicy and fragrant, they will enrich the taste of every dessert and drink.

My dear,


nothing makes the day nicer than coffee with a little sweetness, right? In the nearby cafe, the selection of sweets is huge, and beautiful compositions bring to mind those from fairy tales about pralines.

slodkosci m.jpg

My dear,


I am sending you the wonderful colors of sunny Italy.

kolory wloch m.jpg

My dear,


In a small German village nestled among forests and mountains, a local artist creates a world in miniature.

Please see the original work.

My dear,


cute ducklings make the corner by the local bakery a very nice place. Please look at the photo.

kaczuszki piekarnia m.jpg

My dear,


the flowers are unusual and exceptionally generous. A bit of cool water and a bit of tenderness are enough to give us their beauty and fragrance.

rozowe kwiaty m.jpg

My dear,


Did you hear about the farmer who gave his wife a million sunflowers for their wedding anniversary? Apparently, the sight of a blooming field of sunflowers moved the lady very much. Which of us does not dream of such a romantic?

pole slonecznikow m.jpg

My dear,


a little rain, a little sun and we have a beautiful rainbow, at the end of which an elf is guarding a pot of gold.

My dear,


lavender fields bloomed near Fairy Green Gables. Please look at how fabulously beautiful they are.

My dear,


currants and wild strawberries growing on the Fairytale Green Gables evoke the sweet taste of childhood. I wish you such fruits with all my heart.

My dear,
please look at the harvest from Ania and Grandpa's garden. Tomatoes are as sweet as cherries.

My dear,


Jagna lives in a wooden hut. She probably happens to sit on a wide bench and look at passers-by.

Chatka Jagny m.jpg

My dear,


I visited the design office of a certain talented witch. Please look at how busy it is.

biuro projektowe m.jpg

My dear,


it got rainy at the seaside so the witch put on her cape and went shopping by bicycle so as not to get her broom wet.

czarownica na rowerze m.jpg

My dear,


Do you remember the days when holiday postcards were sent? We were walking past the post office yesterday and Ania wanted to write to grandma and grandpa. Do you like the card she chose?

pocztowka m.jpg

My dear,


please look at the stone mounds that are the work of Ania. It was once believed that they were trolls turned to stone, who did not manage to escape the first rays of the sun. They marked trails and protected travelers from getting lost. Today they decorate gardens and parks. Fairy-tale, mysterious and inspiring.

kamienne kopczyki m.jpg

My dear,


Yesterday's wonderful sunset heralded today's hot day. I wish you shady alleys and cool, refreshing water.

My dear,


At the flea market in Kołobrzeg, Ania found a jug and a container that perfectly matched the flutterby cocoon. Please look how cute.

dzbanuszek m.jpg

My dear,


coffee tastes great after a stormy morning.

I was also glad to hear that the Polish version of "Anne of Fairytale Green Gables" is already printed. I am looking forward to the book to show you.

poranna kawa m.jpg

My dear,


where there are no dwarves from Wrocław, other oddities appear. Please meet the inhabitants of Kołobrzeg.

mieszkancy Kolobrzegu m.jpg

My dear,


on a hot July day, the Baltic Sea awaits rain. The landscape, as if just before a storm, has its own unique charm.

lipcowy dzien 1m.jpg

My dear,


during the holidays, Ania finally has time to draw. The inspiration for this work was a visit to a cat cafe.

kotki Ani m.jpg

My dear,


some are happy to pose for photos. Please look.

surykatki m.jpg

My dear,


please look at the fabulously romantic lake. I wish you such views this holiday season.

My dear,


I wish you a beautiful holiday day.

My dear,

elegant, tailcoat-clad penguins walk amusingly swinging. Do you know anyone who doesn't like these dappers?

Everyone likes a penguin. That's what!

My dear,
I am returning to the beautiful action "Ania is looking for a home" and I am sending you a detailed description of the initiative with a request to promote it.
-------
https://www.facebook.com/groups/896673284767701/

My dear,

during the holidays, it is worth visiting the Wrocław zoo. There, among the animals, you can find a sculpture of a hippopotamus with a guardian. Isn't she adorable?

hipopotam m.jpg

My dear,

here they are: a frog, a pond and a boulder. A kiss is enough to find out who the frog is. A frog or a prince?

zaba m.jpg

My dear,


This year's Kupala Night has already passed. It's nice to make wreaths once a year...

My dear,


take a wonderful breath in a fairy-tale summer garden.

cienisty ogrod m.jpg

Good morning dears :)


On the occasion of the last day of the school year, I wish you, above all, wonderful holidays, wonderful adventures, unforgettable friends, many, many impressions, and at the same time today, on Father's Day, I wish your dads many reasons to be happy with you - kids, smile and joy :) And I invite you to read fairy tales on Sunday.

My dear,


today I will also refer to the extraordinary initiative "Ania is looking for a home".
-------
https://www.radiowroclaw.pl/articles/view/130314/Ania-szuka-domu-w-Walbrzychu

Write and talk about this event. Me and Ania will probably do it and we even have postage stamps ready. Do you like them?

znaczek 1.jpg
znaczek 2.jpg

My dear,


the extremely moving and noble action "Ania is looking for a home", about which I will write more soon, inspired me in literature and even in painting. Today I am sharing with you the effects of inspiration, mine and my Ania. The project organized by MOPS in Wałbrzych promotes foster parenthood.

Anna is looking for a home

Anna is looking for a home!
You don't tell anyone
that she will fail
miracles happen.

you all know
that there are novels in the world,
that our grandmothers, aunts and mothers knew.
About a girl with braids,
what was the color of the reds,
they loved this story.

Anne of Green Gables
she was very small
when she was all alone...
Dreamy, emaciated,
"soul mate" so thirsty,
in her own world,
when she lived among orphans.

The trees whisper and the bird sings,
that she finally found a home,
became important to someone.
She had a father in Mateusz
and Marilla didn't know
how caring her mother is.

Adoptive parents
give children a new life!
There are those among us
what kids love
and they will welcome you with joy
those who are looking for families.

Anna is looking for a home!
You don't tell anyone
that she will fail
miracles happen.

My dear,


while waiting for Ania's frog, I took pictures of the flowers. The frog didn't show up, capricious like an enchanted prince...

My dear,


lavender fields evoke memories of childhood and French camping holidays. I remember lavender bouquets, drought bags, soaps, cookies and hot air... I miss those days a bit today...

lawenda m.jpg

My dear,


My mother collects ducks of all kinds. Therefore, when I found a pair of ducks in an antique shop, I couldn't leave them there. By the way, captivatingly colorful birds wandered with us.

kaczuszki m.jpg

My dear,


look around carefully and you will see roses blooming all around. Bees and bumblebees roam in fragrant chalices.

My dear,


someone once dreamed, in my company, of a house with blue shutters and ivy-covered walls. I recently discovered such shutters and I have to admit that they are charming.

blekitne okiennice m.jpg

My dear,


I wish you a pleasant Monday, sun, blue and red poppies around.

milego poniedzialku m.jpg

My dear,
I have a special fondness for daisies in grass and bouquets. They are so charmingly modest.
