Sometimes plans go out the window. I had got up at 6:30 to get my morning run done and force me out of bed. I should have done this on the first day, it really is the best way of finding quirky shops/cafes and places to visit. I stopped in my tracks when I spotted …

Day 131 – Cafes and mooching
Even with the potential lure of breakfast out, I couldn’t get out of bed early enough. I’d found a lovely cafe called ZacZayn which does fresh sourdough with spreads, but by the time we got there the tiny place was full and all the pastries munched! This proved to be fortunate as we went instead …
130 – From majestic cliffs to basement pinball
Poland is great, I really had no expectations but it is such a wonderful country and I’d highly recommend people visit. Krakow has now jumped in front to being my favourite of it’s cities as it’s a lovely size and filled with history, architecture, great food and fun. But I’m jumping ahead. On our drive …

129 – The Climate Strike and more food…
Today we had specifically stayed in Warsaw to attend the Climate Strike marches. As we both have environmental degrees, try our best to live eco consciously and Markles being an encyclopedia of science knowledge, we wanted to show our support. Mark had it all planned, we needed to be at city hall around 1pm. So …
128 – Foodie Heaven!
When exploring a new city there are two things that can be counted on…I will find odd things to do and great food! I’ve been saving up my calories knowing today was going to be a foodie heaven day, and it didn’t disappoint 😋 Our morning dog walk was to a second hand book/record shop…nope …
128 – Neon Lights
A very quiet day, while I planned Warsaw, Mark walked the pups, then a long but easy drive. On arriving we didn’t initially realise we had parked right behind the Neon Museum so had the shortest walk lol. The museum is small but great. An interesting video talks about how neon was used to reignite …
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 …
126 – Gnomes and Reset
So the day after the big race and I can still move! My knees and hips are surprisingly ok, I have a couple of bruised toes that bled and friction rubs on my thighs and underarm…but mentally I’m still thrilled. Now 8 weeks into my new fitness regime, I’ve achieved more than I ever dreamed …
125 – Just one foot in front of the other…for 26miles
So I hinted yesterday of a surprise…I’d only told three people (hubby, James Dunne a running coach and Dean Byers my fitness coach)…a week ago I signed up to run Wroclaw marathon! They all thought I was mad but wished me well. It was an insane idea, given I’d done no training – most training …

124 – Views, caves and yet more sculpture
Compared to my first visit to Prague over a decade ago, there seems so much more to see or do…or perhaps I didn’t research it well enough the first time. There definitely wasn’t the high density of stag parties and drinks I’d been warned about. A few but no worse than Norwich. My legs were …
