My knowledge, about Poland out of my head in 30 seconds, is pretty limited. I have never been to Poland but I imagine that there is a lot of coal dust and pollution in the air. The concentration camps. Kieslowski's movies. I remember when Lech Walesa won in politics. He was a coal miner. Australian comedian Magda Szubanski's dad was from Poland. He was an assassin during the war. I read the book. It is strange to think that someone's father would be an assassin.
A vegetarian friend traveled in Poland once and said that it was difficult to find fresh vegetables. Which reminds me that I like Polish pickles. I am sure I have eaten some Polish pastries. Another friend lived there for a while over 20 years ago. I think he said he liked the vodka and the company. Vodka reminds me of bread. I don't know if they offer rye bread, pieces of lard and vodka together, as they do in Russia. Polish rye bread must be nice, dark and heavy. I miss proper bread here in Australia.
I am rambling on with this writing because I am on my way to back yard to look after the plants. I think Australia should stop coal mining. Full stop. And Russia should get out of Syria.
Here is a picture of trees growing peacefully together.
