A little bit about me vol 5.... (maybe vol.6, sorry I've lost count!)

As with most people from my part of the world, my family background is a veritable 'Heinz 57' of nations - with grandfathers from Poland and China (both of whom came to Liverpool during the war), as well as the usual Liverpool-Irish connections.

Today I visited Poland (which I suppose is partly the land of my fathers, or at least my father's fathers) for the first time ever. It was a bit of flying visit to meet up with colleagues from Solidarnosc about a joint project we are hoping to run starting in September, hence no blogging today. Will post more about my trip to Warsaw tomorrow - just got home, so right now I'm off for a quick beer!
