I’m leaving the title open as this may well be the only update, we will see. And whilst you may be fooled into thinking that this was brought about by a New Years resolution, the real reason I am typing today is snow! About 10cm (4 inches), not to mention the drifts, so movement is restricted to tramping or tractor.
I keep reading blogs, commenting and discovering new, so time is clearly available to me, so my excuse for not writing anything for over a year is a little poor. However I will try my best to blame my tardiness on having two young children, if I can’t blame them then who can I blame, its hardly my fault, and they can’t read this yet to defend themselves 
As this post is going to be short and sweet I thought it should be about the afore mentioned short and sweet things in my life, Michalina and Zofia, often shortened even more to Malina and Zosia or even Michelle and Sophia if they ever make it to an English speaking country. With Malina heading towards five and Zosia having already passed the milestone of her first birthday I often find myself wondering where the time has gone, but the thought is soon replaced by a mad dash to stop Zosia from climbing up the steps, or assessing Malinas latest picture that has kept her busy for all of 5 minutes. and I have a sudden realisation that that is where the time goes. If you have children you will never be bored.
Anyhow, enough of me rambling, I know its all about pictures, so here are a few:
Happy New Year!
Winkos: a straw bale building adventure in Poland 
Nice to get know you are all thriving…
(Including the humanure heap inhabitants 😉 )
I ‘d love to read some more and more frequently posted trifling details from the proces of abandoning the Babilon.
Hi Raf, good to know you are still about, I might just write a bit more soon:) Happy New Year to you and yours.
Eddy you “have been done” since I added your blog to my RSS list 😉
(I add only feeds I’m deeply convinced I’d follow)
Only now I can see that google has automatically logged me in with my wordpress account although I formerly used another email and nickname to comment in here.
update: After I tried to sent this comment using my former email and nickname I got error “Sorry, this comment could not be posted.”
It seems I can no longer comment using it so I continue with teh wordpress account
The update part from my former comment is not valid .
It seems I was an error on my side.
you may delete this comment anyway.
All the best in 2019.
(anyway: I have never felt and will never feel ” a new year” starting at this time as my animistic soul feels it when first green leafs appear ).
I hope you will be blogging through this year… I have 3 kids and business so… no more excuses! Good Luck!
🙂 Thank you!
Beautiful kids looking like they have a nice life.
Happy New Year to you and yours.
Thank you and Happy New Year to you both.
You are welcome, and thanks.
Great to hear from you. I hate to say it but I hope the snow continues ! Happy new Year.
Happy New Year back to you and yours.
You know I secretly wanted it to snow more too, and I wasn’t disappointed. I enjoyed yesterdays three hour challenge of getting the Lada Niva through drifts so that we could then in turn rescue the Fiat Panda that we abandoned on a steep hill two days ago. Now safely parked up near a road that is ploughed on a regular basis.
We have a freezer full of meat and veg, a larder full of preserves and milk and cheese from the goats, we can manage a few weeks or indeed a war as Gosia parents often comment.
No snow forecast today, but 10-12cm for tomorrow, I can’t wait 🙂
So good to see a post from ‘the other tyke’ Eddy. I hope you will have the time, or inclination, for more ‘updates’ now and then; they are always fascinating. Best wishes to you and all the family (super to see the little ones) for a successful 2019!
I just walked our track to the road and I think we may be snow locked for a few more days so another update is quite possible 🙂 Happy New Year to you both.
Gosh, hello Eddy! I haven’t been around these parts for ages and wasn’t even aware of Zofia’s existence. Congratulations! Here’s to both of us writing a little more in 2019.
Thank you Toni, good to see you and your latest post as well, Happy New Year:)
No need for excuses. Nice to have you back, even briefly. Thanks for the update.
Thanks for popping in Peggy, maybe more to come if the snow stays. Just about to walk the mile to tarmac to see how deep it is 🙂
As those of us out here in the Old West would say, “Yippee! You’re back in the saddle again!”
On the saddle, just wish I could find my horse 🙂
Woo hoo a post and pictures too!! Great stuff and good job it snowed, but keep it there please 🙂
Dont worry, the snow has decided to stay for a week and bring it’s friend Jack -8c Frost with it 🙂
EEEK! 🤪
I think you have a good excuse, Eddy! What lovely children Happy New Year!
Thank you Sue and Happy New year 🙂
Thanks’
Hi Eddy Winko and Sue,
I concur with Sue! I too have not published any post for more than a year due to various commitments and duties, though many of my existing posts are kept up-to-date.
It is too late now for me to wish both of you and your respective families a Happy New Year. However, there is still time for me to wish you a Happy Chinese New Year, which will occur in a few days and lasting for 15 days, as explained in a special post of mine at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2013/02/10/soundeagle-in-chinese-new-year-celebration-spring-festival-lion-dance-traditional-culture-and-architecture/
And a Happy New Year to you too, thanks for popping by 🙂
Hi Eddy,
Please be informed that you might need to use a desktop or laptop computer with a large screen to view the rich multimedia contents available for heightening your multisensory enjoyment at my websites, some of which could be too powerful and feature-rich for iPad, iPhone, tablet or other portable devices to handle properly or adequately. A fast broadband connection is also helpful. 🙂
I look forward to your visit of the said post.
Happy February! May you have a lovely weekend!
Just as well Julie was handy with the smelling salts. I fainted at the notification of a post from you.
Thanks for the news, and the photos of the girls.
Next time, we need an update on the animals, I reckon. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
This was about the animals 🙂
I knew that! 🙂
