...and in the mountains...

... Zakopane...glorious scenery, rich culture, long late discussions on so many things...driving here was a mix of swift motorways and people selling mushrooms alongside, vast advertising slogans and a sudden glimpse of a shrine....

This morning, in Warsaw, a visit to the museum commemorating the Uprising of 1944. Extraordinary to  encounter the full and graphic story I first discovered  in a London flat from an elderly lady who had served with the AK, and who told it to me in this book...

The Polish fighters of 1944 were heroes, and the story of this battle is one that will be told dopwn the generations in Poland...
