H A L L O . . . to our thus far FEW, but FAITHFUL FANS!!!

JANuary is already reaching close to its end, and time to say a few words of Greetings as this first month of the New Year is almost ready to leave us…

FULL SPEED AHEAD – is our new catchphrase as we embrace the often blue skies we have managed to enjoy in POLand, even though sometimes fleetingly, as least longer than in other central and northern European countries. The energy bursts that we get from the SUN have helped to steer us on course. So…

The AOK team went off in different directions over the HOLiday period –

Lourdes took off the first, even before December, to her home country of Mexico and sent us these…

Next was Sefi who flew to her home country of Israel where she was happy to see her youngest daughter, now doing her time in the Israeli army…

Iza rejoined her family in the States and they all met up in Alberquerque, New Mexico in the USA…

While Shibani headed off to faraway India with a family-focus too…

Darek, Ewa Les and Jennifer stayed in POLand and were delighted with the calmer streets of WARsaw where they could actually find parking spots without a problem, quieter roads with fewer cars, family time too, as well as even finding colour and ongoing inspiration for paintings which we hope to share with you soon. Les flew off today to Australia for two fantastic months and we look forward to exciting new photographs taken by him, inspired by the Aussie bush, seascape, flora and fauna.

Meanwhile, in POLand…

And might we suggest, that if you do get fed up with the cold and yes, sometimes dull grey days, then if you cannot visit us in the remote region of KONstancin, then remember to re-discover the delightful Caricature Museum (Muzeum Karykatury) on Kozia Street in the heart of old downtown Warsaw, off Krakowskie Przedmieście.
