Polish and British artists at Women's Day Festival







On the occasion of International Women's Day I went to see an art exhibition as well as music festival organised by Fish Factory in Falmouth and W.A.N.K. (Women's Art Network Kernow). I have just found out that Kernow means Cornwall in Cornish language :)

Obviously, all artists, whose pictures and other pieces of art we could admire and whose songs we were pleased to hear, were women. Mostly from Cornwall and Poland but also from other parts of the United Kingdom. Our Polish representatives were artists from Pomerania: Elżbieta Tęgowska, Magdalena Nowak, Urszula Dulewicz and Anna Sokolska. 

Photos from the event below. Enjoy!

Let's move on to music artists who performed on the 8th of March on Fish Factory stage. Unfortunately, I missed the first singer's performance but I found some pieces of her output on you tube. Listen to Olive Haigh - Indie-folk autoharpist singer.









Next artist was Sarah Harrison, singing beautiful moody songs and accompanying herself on ukulele.










And June Stevenson (a Scottish singer), whose CD I bought as her voice and songs delighted me.










Ta-ta for now!
Enjoy the spring!

English idioms you must know!

This post begins a new series on the blog - English idioms. According to the Oxford dictionary an idiom is a group of words whose meaning is different from the   meanings of the individual words.  We don't treat them literally, we need to find a deeper sense. That's why idioms might be tricky for foreign learners. If we want to use them correctly we need to learn them by heart. Today I've prepared for you 7 common English idioms and their Polish idiomatic equivalents.   Ten post rozpoczyna nową serię na blogu - idiomy angielskie. Według słownika języka polskiego idiom to  wyrażenie, zwrot właściwe danemu językowi,  nie dające przetłumaczyć się na inny język.

Valentine's Day - IDIOMS & Top Ten British romantic movies

Obraz
Love love love... Love is all around - as the British pop band Wet Wet Wet used to sing (yes yes, it's the song from the film that probably everybody knows:'Four weddings and a fineral') :) Love is in the air especially before and on the 14th of February. Some of us love Valentine's day, some hate it saying that this day has nothing to do with love, that it's just an artificial feast invented to earn money.  Opponents claim that people ought to show each other love every day, not only on one day a year! It's hard to disagree with this opinion... But maybe it's not such a bad idea to devote a whole day or at least an evening (let's say 14 th of February) for the one we love? Celebrate our love in a special way...?  What about those who love in secret? Isn't it a perfect day to say the subject of admiration that we love him/her? Send a letter, email or a valentine card? And what about singles who think Valentine's day is only for couples? Definitel...
