Zdjęcie w headerze
Obraz przedstawia osobę piszącą w dużym, ozdobnym, postarzałym dzienniku z widocznym napisem „About me personal blog”. Księga leży na biurku otoczonym pogniecionymi kartkami, co podkreśla proces twórczy, refleksję i pracę nad osobistą opowieścią. Scena oddaje intymny charakter pisania o sobie i budowania własnej narracji.
Zdjęcie wyróżniające
Zdjęcie wykonane w Shugborough Estate przedstawia mnie — autora bloga — siedzącego na skuterze elektrycznym pośród wysokiej, słonecznej trawy. Uśmiecham się w stronę aparatu, chłonąc spokojny krajobraz i poczucie swobody, jakie daje to miejsce. W tle widać dwie osoby idące razem ścieżką, częściowo zasłonięte zielenią, co dodaje scenie delikatnego poczucia ruchu i naturalności.

The scene conveys an intimate moment of self-expression and the thoughtful work that goes into personal storytelling.
Featured image
Photographed at Shugborough Estate, this image shows me — the author of the blog — sitting on a mobility scooter surrounded by tall, sunlit grass. I am smiling towards the camera, taking in the peaceful landscape and the sense of freedom the estate offers. In the background, two people walk together along the path, partly hidden by the greenery, adding a gentle sense of movement to the scene.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
Psalm 23:4
This is a personal blog where I publish my thoughts, photos from trips, and short stories from everyday life.
My journey to England
I was born in Toruń in 1965, but I have been living in England since 2006. For many years, I worked the night shift in a fruit and vegetable warehouse. Finally, I decided to change something in my life and, partly at the urging of my girlfriend and partly on my own initiative, I found a new job. At the same time, I changed my place of residence.
Changes in life and work
Przez wiele lat pracowałem na nocną zmianę w magazynie przy warzywach i owocach. W końcu postanowiłem coś zmienić w swoim życiu i trochę za namową mojej dziewczyny, a trochę od samego siebie, znalazłem nową pracę. Przy okazji zmieniłem miejsce zamieszkania.
Health and a new phase
Shortly afterwards, I fell seriously ill and am still unable to work. Understandably, I started to get a little bored. In the meantime, my then wife decided to build her own website. In doing so, she stirred up a dream I had always had, namely to have my own personalised email address. My wife says I’m a snob, which amuses me a little, but deep down I agree with her. Nevertheless, a personalised address is perfect for a snob. 🙂
Why this blog was created
This brings us to the page you are currently viewing, dear visitor. I created it to kill time, of course, but also to share with the world photos and videos from trips I took with my beloved Elutek. I also intend to post comments on events in the world that I consider important, without paying too much attention to the opinions of others. Not everyone may like what I write, so if someone doesn’t like it, the way back is open. I’m not forcing anyone to stay. I invite everyone else to visit my blog. 🙂
