It's hard to feel Serious Reverence For The Almighty when all you can think about is how a dollop of apricot jam would go just nicely...
Left my beloved Kraków now to set up in Brussels but this is by no means the end of my adventures with Polish. Linguistic confusion and cross-cultural misunderstandings still abound. I'm an interpreter, a translator, a musician, I'm learning to cook again and I miss my dog. I think that's got it covered, more or less.

That's a great idea! How about we petition the General Synod for crumpets at communion? It would take their minds off women bishops...
