My Mum

As you can see, she hasn't quit smoking yet (despite having tried countless times). No make-up, no fancy clothes and still looking stunning at 59. Her most important and most precious qualities, though, can't be seen in these photos. 








I'm listening to this now.

The Picture of My Grandma on BBC

Yesterday, I mentioned that last Sunday I submitted two pictures to BBC. Below is the link to the second one, which has been published today.
The picture won't tell you this, but My Grandma was a lawyer and, for many years, worked as a Deputy Head of The Inland Revenue in the town where I grew up. This picture is about her vulnerability, defencelessness and, strangely enough, about her power.
I love you, Grandma, and I'm immensely proud of you! Kocham Cię, Babciu i jestem z Ciebie niezmiernie dumna!

My Brand New Photo on BBC Wales

I've been busy, so I didn't have the time (or kept forgetting) to submit my pictures for a while (with this tiny exception: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-26777198; image 4, but then I never took the time to post the link to it here).  
Luckily, I found a free moment last Sunday and managed to submit two photos. Here is the link to the newly published one: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-27644391). Number 6 is by me and I think it looks better below (or in my previous post) than on BBC. I just don't fancy their crop and perhaps their black background doesn't go with this pic.

Brecon Beacons


A few photos taken in Brecon Beacons, mainly of Cwm Llwch, which is nestled just below Pen y Fan.

Just me...





I'm busy reading and learning new things, so this must do for a while. Love to all and don't forget to enjoy May - the most beautiful month where I live. 

Listen to this!

Bright Saturday

I went to see my sister and her family on Bright Saturday. My brother-in-law was doing his training, so he's not included... As I hardly ever part with my camera, these are a few memories it captured with my help.

Ask my niece (very kindly!) not to move and, surely,she will...

She's turning 35 in a few months and still looks like a model...


My nephew is the fastest 10-year-old swimmer in Wales. Feeling immensely proud...


The only way to keep my niece still...
