127 – Murals in the Rain

I woke stupidly early and decided to catch up on the blog. As my morning alarm went off and my new routine was set to start I was still beavering away at it. It takes so much longer than I thought, but I love doing it. So yeh not the best start to new beginnings and it was gone 10 before we were walking the pups around the Olympic stadium, but hey that’s life. I will juggle the day to fit it all in, and try again tomorrow morning.

My goals include taking more time over my appearance so I’m following a 7 day style challenge which is fun. I’m happy to send the link if you want to join in. I struggle a bit with vanlife and such a limited wardrobe but yesterday was statement sleeves and today was gold. I just about managed it with bat wing jumper and rose gold splash, but if nothing else at least I’m thinking and creating looks rather than just chucking on leggings and a hoody lol

Today’s destination was Poland’s former textile manufacturing hub Lodz.a We stopped at an arboretum part way to walk the pups, gave Mabel a chance to roll again and found parking right off the main central street.

The creative hub with independent shops and restaurants is called Off Piotrkowska which is a nice place to explore. I treated myself to a cap and drooled over a banana/spots biking jacket I don’t need on account of not having a bike 😂

We then grabbed a delicious hot chocolate from the Chocolate Cafe E Wedel…none of your powder nonsense here, it was pure melted dark chocolate and soya milk 😋

And then the rain came. Mark doesn’t like getting wet, he was almost as grumpy about it as Ernest gets 😂 We dashed to the dazzling Rose Passage which is made of mirror, saw the Israel Poznanski’s Palace, stumbled upon a great anti plastic pop up exhibition and saw some great murals on the way home.

We are now hiding in the van hoping the rain will stop so we can do the food shop. Exciting Tuesday evening lol
