Battle of Lipany

This years’ Battle of Lipany was only the third one. I have not even heard of its first year and last year at that time I enjoyed the pleasures of pneumonia, so this time was my first. It is probably because of the historical importance of this battle, but the organizers do not try to […]

Tudors at Kolín

I did not really plan to go to the Kolín Battle, but my previously planned programme was cancelled and I simply refused to stay at home The seventeenth Kolín Battle didn’t in fact have anything to do with Kolín. Its title “Blood of the Tudors” placed it more than one thousand kilometres westwards, starting with […]

Libušín 2012

My health forced me to spend most of April in the Priessnitz Spa. However, its whole treatment counts on the fact that the patient is going to take a trip for the weekend.

Taverna Ball VI.

The ball season is once again here and the Taverna Ball too. However, this time was significantly different for me, because there were occasions when I put aside my camera and tried to join to the others. In spite of going through dancing course I have never learned how to dance, but this time I […]

Late New Year’s Post
