Hello and welcome to the 20’s!! And welcome here, the blog where nobody writes anything :-D Do you remember when I used to do regular annual reflective posts?

Here, for your viewing pleasure, is a frosty photo-heavy blog post. Nedávno se mi poštěstilo vzít si na pár dní volno z práce a dokonce opustit moje překrásné, ale hlučné rodné město. Vyrazila jsem se svojí sestrou a užily jsme si zimní prodloužený víkend v městečku v jižních Čechách, kde dřív žili naši prarodiče. Zde, pro potěšení vašich očí, je příspěvek, plný zamrzlých fotografií.  I tried to find balance between time spent outside and resting in the warm cosiness of the apartment where we were staying, and I think it all turned out rather lovely and relaxing. 10 point to Gryffindor/your respective house, if you can recognize where we were:   Snažila jsem se najít rovnováhu mezi tráv...
