Three weeks to the day when I completed the 4 Days Marches Nijmegen.
It took me that long to process all that happened and write a positive piece about it.

Northern Ireland: Living with the Troubles
I recently saw the newly opened exhibition Northern Ireland: Living with the Troubles at the Imperial War Museum in London. It’s not the typical exhibition that you find in museums, like a history lesson or a chronological series of objects and events that tell a story. Instead, it’s focused on the human experience of the…
SAS Brothers in Arms – book review
Before coming across Damien Lewis’s books, I didn’t read that much about WWII; TV documentaries were my primary source of information. But reading one of Damien’s books is more than getting information; it’s discovering the personal stories of the characters of those events. I knew ‘in big lines’ how the SAS started, but reading SAS…
Povestea cămășii populare canon
Cămașa asta populară este a mea. Și a bunicii Victoria. Și este canon și secret și mândrie în același timp. Asta este povestea ei.
A ship to myself: HMS Belfast
I visited the HMS Belfast on the first day of December. She is one of a kind, and the entire experience was brought close to perfection by having the ship all to myself.

Why I wear Lapis Lazuli
I ran out of inspiration for writing for the day, so since my latest obsession is the Lapis Lazuli jewelry that I made and will wear on Monday, here’s something about Lapis Lazuli. It is a semiprecious stone used for thousands of years for jewelry, ornamental objects, and pigments. It is valued for its intense…
Povestea cămeșii mele populare
Am spus de mult că o scriu povestea primei mele cămeși populare. Știu că fiecare cămeșă are o poveste, pentru că în ea intră o parte din sufletul femeii care o coase. Speranța că va fi cea mai frumoasă. Frica de a nu fi unică – dacă mai are cineva modelul? Grija culorilor – oare…
SAS BRAVO THREE ZERO
When I first met SAS veteran Des Powell and author Damien Lewis at the National Army Museum, I was not looking for a story, I was just enjoying the first public event I managed to get after the lockdown, the launch of their new book SAS BRAVO THREE ZERO. Later on, while reading here and…
