Thankyoski Krakovski!

Vell, a couple of veekendski's ago we journeyed to the vonderful Krakov in Poland. Krakov was the capital of Poland through the middle ages, and so has a beautiful old castle on top of a hill overlooking the old town. It also has the largest town square in europe where artists have gathered over the ages.

It was snowing when we landed, vich vas rather exciting for us, although unfortunately by the next day it had turned to icy rain. Everywhere is, however, prepared for such veather and they have the cosiest little restaurants and pubs where they love to shot their cherry wodka. Ve stayed in a really great hostel vhere ve met heaps of other travellers and hilarious polish locals. Our first night there ve vent for one little nightcap drink and somehow found ourselves still at the bar at 6am having wodka shots and cheap Polish beer....it was great fun.

Because of the rainy whether we didn't take too many sightseeing photos...but here's a little taste of Krakov.

Salad Days

Hi everyone!

As you may have heard I joined an amateur theatre group called the Harrow Light Opera Company when we first arrived in London. Three weeks ago we performed the 1950s musical 'Salad Days' each night for a week. It was great fun and has defintely left me hooked on "am dram" (amateur drama). I'm thinking I'll look around for a Brissy group to join when we get back.

It was a very twee and very very silly musical which I thought was quite stupid at first, but once I embraced the stupidity I ended up loving it!

Here are some dressing room pics.

Love to you all and will post again soon with our tales of Krakow where we went last weekend.

Ang, xo.
