the POLSKI blog

One of the principles behind the blog was to introduce to my readers some UK-based Poles and their views on living in the UK – why they are here, what they admire, what they miss. In a short, Q&A form. I’ve decided to ask a few people initially to answer five short questions. What I [...]
