Hello again,
I can't believe it – no sooner had I sent the last newsletter
saying that we'd had no
snow - when down it came - in bucketloads!!! Good timing actually as we
closed the Centre for 2 days to upgrade our exhibition. More about that in a future newsletter.
If you are still snowed in, here are some articles to warm you up a bit.

explore this multi-faceted character in detail. |

I
came across this short film on Youtube and really enjoyed it. The music
is "Polskie drogi" from a wonderful polish composer Andrzej Kurylewicz.
Originally it was a song for a polish series about the second world war! |
