Well no walking this morning as DH has a problem with his calf muscle, a sign of getting old, he had cramp and is still suffering from the after effects, we have been down to the paseo for breakfast and my intention was to show my cafe y tostada con tomate, I forgot to take a photo as we bumped into a couple we haven't seen for a few years, totally lost track of time and then had to rush off for my hairdressing appointment.
So today my photo is a cup and saucer which was a gift from DIL's Aunt, it was a welcome gift on our visit to Poland to meet the family.
It is from Bydgoszcz and the image on the front of the archer is of a statue in the town centre, I also have a lovely jotter with the same picture, for some reason the photo I have refuses to upload so I thought I would show you a couple more of our trip.
The town square with a huge statue
I love this and it was the first time I had seen this done.
Attaching locks with initials on them, I think the sentiment being together forever, I wanted to do it on our visit for our sons wedding but apparently they had stopped it because of the weight unfortunately.
This statue is over the river, quite impressive.
This is our son and DIL's summer house near the lake.
We didn't stay there, as there wasn't room for all of us but we had
a lovely BBQ outside with all DIL's family
We are busy getting ready for our family arriving from San Francisco on Thursday, they are here for almost a month, we have the booster seats in place in the car, ice creams of various flours in the freezer, especially mint choc chip! bags of ice and plenty of cold drinks In the fridge, of course they are mostly looking forward to swimming and lots of Shrimp, according to our GS.
Finally I just want to say a big thank you for the lovely welcome on my first visit to Bleubeard and Elizabeths last week and for all the comments, they were very much appreciated, sorry I can't join the ATC swop, I just haven't had time to make one but hopefully next year!
Have a great week everyone.

Good morning, I enjoyed your post-I saw a Hallmark movie last year where they put locks on a bridge like that I think it was in Paris
ReplyDeletesounds like your are ready for swimming and treats-the chocolate mint is my husband's favorite flavor.
Enjoy your family's visit!
Happy T's 5th birthday
Hugs Kathy
The cup and saucer looks so pretty and Bydgoszcz seems to be a fabulous Poilsh city! Your son's summerhouse looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day!
Hugs, Susi
Lovely cup and saucer. i have seen photos of these locks on bridges all over the world- pretty cool but yes, too bad they have to restrict having too many locks. Enjoy your family time , and happy T day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cup and saucer! Those locks are on a lot of bridges, fences etc here, but they do cause problems because of the weight. Thanks for sharing the lovely photos. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteInteresting archer on the cup, and I love the public statuary. That summer house! Wow!
ReplyDeleteI know you'll enjoy hosting. It sounds like you've stocked up and are ready :) Happy T Tuesday anniversary
The Polish cup and saucer are interesting, Jan. I've never seen a saucer with a (finger?) hole in it.
ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual and lovely summer house. I like the architectural lines. The sloping roof lines make me wonder what the inside is like.
Our son lives in Oakland. My hubby is 100% Polish. grin.
Happy 5th T-day Birthday! Hugs, Eileen
I'm SO glad you joined us again for T this Tuesday. It's so good you could share this time with us, even as you prepare for your San Francisco family to arrive. I understand it is C-C-C-C-C-O-O-O-O-L-L-D there right now. Of course, since it's much warmer in Spain right now than San Francisco, I suspect beach, sun, fun, and shrimp will be the welcome and welcoming business of the day.
ReplyDeleteThose locks are on a lot of bridges. In fact, I thought I saw where one bridge in Paris collapsed because of the weight and now they have all been banned from bridges there. I could be wrong, but I was almost certain it was Paris.
That's a very stately summer home your son and DIL have. It looks beautiful from the outside, and the flowers in those pots are incredible.
I am in love with that incredibly unique cup and saucer. It's strangely mesmerizing and very different at the same time. Thank you for sharing this and your plans for the week ahead, as well as your trip to Poland with us on T this very special 5th anniversary T Tuesday.
Wow, what an amazing designed cup and saucer! I love all the details with the beautifully painted cup and hole in the saucer 😁. I enjoyed visiting the town with you and the summer house looks fabulous! Have a wonderful time with your family and wishing you the happiest of T Days! J 😊 x
ReplyDeleteYour photos look as though this was a lovely area to visit and blue skies are always welcome! I hope you and your guests have a wonderful Time! Happy T Day! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteA lovely post and beautiful photos from your trip.
ReplyDeleteIt is a super design on your cup and saucer.
Happy T day Anniversary wishes.

OH, I love that statue over the river; quite impressive. And, my goodness, what a lovely Summer home your son and daughter in law have. It looks like it has lots of character! I bet you are soooo excited for the grandsons to come! Lovely post, Jan!

ReplyDeleteHi Jan. I loved seeing this post as I have thought about going to Poland myself since I have some Polish ancestry. That cottage was very cute-and looks almost like it belongs in a fairy tale. :) Hope you had a happy T day. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWhat fun photos you've shared...love those locks, and that sculpture on the bridge too. What a gorgeous summer house to visit...it looks quite like a fairy tale! Enjoy your visit with family! happy belated T day ♥
ReplyDeleteHi Jan,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely summer home your son has. I agree with Erika, it looks like something from a fairy tale. Your trip must have been wonderful! What a neat idea to carve initials onto locks and place them on a fence. And I love that sculpture on the bridge. Enjoy your visit with family. Sounds like your kitchen is stocked with some yummy goodies!
Happy Tea Day a Day Late,
