I am reading Jurga’s Ivanauskaitė’s “Švelnūs tardymai” right now – the book in the Lithuanian language I bought during my visit to Lithuania at the end of October. The book contains twenty interviews with famous Lithuanian artists, philosophers, priests, and others. This is not the one book I’ve read, some weeks ago I started “Butler to the World: How Britain Helps the World’s Worst People Launder Money, Commit Crimes, and Get Away with Anything” by Oliver Bullough in the Polish language, and the title in Polish sounds like “Kamerdyner Swiata: jak Wielka Brytania wstąpiła na służbę u oligarchów, kleptokratów i kombinatorów”.

Druskininkai
This weekend I spent in Lithuania, in my native town Druskininkai. The best time to visit it is autumn. Look at these photos, and you understand, why 🍁
Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens
There were two sunny days last weekend, and we decided to visit Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens. I should say that the most beautiful flowers there was Jack.
We saw many blooming flowers, as huge Heathers, small wild Cyklamens, Winter Crocuses and many others as well.
And I saw this Spike Tail or Monkey Puzzle tree from Araucaria family for the first time
Travelling
I have a great time visiting my daughter in Newcastle. Autumn in the UK is full of colours 🍃🌾🍂🍁🌿

“You can’t control the world, so don’t try to do that” – an advice from my psychotherapist. These words changed my life.
