After the long two flights I finally made it to Wroclaw at 21h45 on the 10th September 2008. i slept well that night as the last few days before i got packing were busy to the point of not much sleep. I had most of my family waiting for me at the airport, except for my grandfather who is not well lately, at his ripe age of 82. From the airport straight to my moms were we all shared a few glasses of bubbly, exchanged a few news items from each corner of the world - and then it was time to get into bed spent. The next day i slept in a little, had a lovely relaxing day and finally went to see my grandfather who was so emotional when i walked through the door. He does not get out much any more so visiting him suits him best. time passes slowly for my grandparents now, and as it is near end of summer and autumn starts to show off a little not only through the shades and tones of autumn but also through the cold wind. I had a great time despite the cold air which came too soon this year. Seeing my family was an experience to live by and learn from, city of Wroclaw is a buzz these days, every one is on a mission, but in the evening in the suburbs is very quiet which is bliss! No one bothering any one, perfect to just chill and enjoy the long over due company of my whole family.

Catching up with family in Poland

finally i get to take the picture showing just how good my granny looks at the age of 76.

Had an amazing couple of days with my family and did a lot of catching up, since i have to been back to Poland for 6 years now, October 2002 was the last time i went. it was just before my father passed away, which was December 2002.  I'm back in the city of cape town now to finally realize everything work wise before me leaves little time for anything else, it is the end of the year soon and so we are left with 7 weeks of absolute chaos to get everyone of my clients in top form for the holiday. so much to get through before i can take leave when all my clients do so at end of the year, i may even be lucky enough to go on a vacation for a few weeks with Neels.

At least i have some memories here in the photos of the family - even if it was just a short visit.
