Through the forest?

No. There are a couple of coastal paths near where I live and I usually walk in the early morning to avoid people. I also go to Dartmoor National Park quite often and I tend to pick the more remote areas to walk in:

A couple of pics from Dartmoor:

  • West Mill Tor and Yes Tor, Dartmoor

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation [1756]

But what for??

For kids to make them laugh or say something other than tomato, then the game is over. It's also a way of indirectly not answering questions which I'm guessing is the adult version.

it denotes a negative context.

I can't think of anything other than clingy. As in to be like a limpet.

Reading a good book with a nice cup of tea, summer and light nights, walking for miles without seeing another soul, travelling, art museums, the smell of freshly mown grass, baking cakes, Cirque du Soleil, listening to music, decent coffee with a nice slab of cake. That'll do for starters.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [557]

What is it about?

Is this a special occasion as such and the phones are being collected so that everyone can actually talk to each other without distraction? A wedding or Wigilia for example. From the little I can see of clothing, the men are wearing shoes and trousers so it appears to be a formal setting. Either that or maybe teachers confiscating student phones?

Soboty spelled with lower case s means saturdays.

Interesting. In England days of the week are always capitalized. Didn't realize they weren't in Poland.
