My Skórzewo

When I think of Skórzewo, where I have lived since the birth, I have a picture of a lovely and peaceful village when everybody knows each other. And when I look at the photos from my early childhood, it really is like that: I’m walking with my one-year old brother along one of the biggest roads in Skórzewo and you can scarcely see a car… I perfectly remember the time when the pavement was built there! It was only a beginning of Skórzewo’s growth. Can you imagine I had almost no neighbours? And it was fantastic: so much space to play on! Nowadays, more and more people are moving to Skórzewo. We have many shops (including two Żabkas and one Chata Polska), banks, restaurants, housing estates, hairdresser’s and solariums. I like its new image, as it is more civilized :) but I will always associate Skórzewo with quietness. And I will always find it in my big and cosy garden. I love both resting and studying there. In appreciation of my father’s and grandfather’s work I’m posting two pictures of my garden in the summer.

OK, I have to admit there is one thing I just can’t stand in Skórzewo: a bus stop. It’s 15 minutes from my house and the bus (77) goes every half an hour, so you can’t be late. Despite Skórzewo’s growth, nothing is changing in this matter, unfortunately.
