Dried Mushrooms
From A house in poland, 7 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
The house is filled with the smell of mushroom drying in front of the fire. There are garlands of them hanging from the shelves in the kitchen. The mushroom season is here in Poland at last, the first sign of autumn. We've been making trips to the forest every few day but we try and avoid the weekends and the crowds of foragers. The best time to go is on a Thursday or Friday morning because there's a good chance no one else has beaten you to it. ?The Polish love their mushrooms' I personally...

The Coat
From A house in poland, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Last week my mother told me a story about my cosine Victoria. She's having problems dressing her little girl, wanting to walk around naked all the time. Well all children are individual and unpredictable. You have to love them all for their eccentricities.This week our son has decided that he has to wear his coat everywhere, yes all the time. If we attempt to unzip it there's a massive tantrum. Luckily we're in Poland and the mother-in-law's house isn't exactly warm.

School Again
From A house in poland, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
This Monday I visited the school again in Srem Poland too talk to the English classes. As a native speaker I'm meant too talk to the pupils and encourage them to talk back. The easy part was doing the talking; in fact they did very little. I had great expectations and but to be honest i came away a little disappointed. A few of the more confident pupils did engage in conversation. Not sure if thier silence was because they're shy, scared of making a mistake or it's just not cool to talk to the...

The roof

The house is final starting to look like a house. They have put the roof batons on and on Monday the tiles should start being laid. We can't wait to see the house next weekend, finally with the roof on.I'm desperate to get the house water tight because the winter in here and I'm sure snow is on the way. We just have to patient, there is not way we can ask the contractor to work faster. They're a law unto themselves; every thing takes time in Poland especially our contractor.

House Progress 2
From A house in poland, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Last week they started work on the house again after a long break. The reason this time was that the subcontractors / builders were sacked by the main contractor!!! He said that they wanted more money. I'm really fed up of all these excuses. If I had known how unprofessional Taniedomy were I'd never have used them. They started in September and told us that the house would take two or three weeks, NOT four months. They promised last week that the roof would be on by the 20th December ?I have my...

The house
From A house in poland, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
This is a Sketchup Model that i did of the house. Once i started the model i noticed the upstairs coridor had no window or skylight, no natural light at all !!! "this is ridiculous" So we just added a large window halfway up the stairs and sent it to the project manager / contractor. I hope the cost of this additional window won't be too much. At least we won't have to turn the light on every time we walk upstairs now.

Reasons for moving
From A house in poland, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Below is the main reason for moving it Poland. We made the decision not to bring our son up in London. Szymon education was the biggest deciding factor. We couldn't afford to put him into a private school here in London and there was no way we wanted him to go to a state run comprehensive school. My sister's kids went to a good school in Wales so at one point this was an option ?well we contemplated it for about five minutes' the obvious and inevitable division is Poland.
