A wee bit of filming at #ImperialWarMuseum London today, before my spot at their podcast fest. I was interviewed for the #AuthorsOfHistory pod.

A wonderful evening walking & talking in beautiful #Gdańsk.
This historic city is bursting with museums, bars & cafés, much like the rest of Poland. What a fabulous, & often very moving, couple of weeks I’ve had here. Dziękujemy za miłe powitanie!

Not a bad venue for the last talk of my Polish tour, the #2WW museum in #Gdańsk!
Other pic shows the fabulous #DrAndrzejDrzycimski. If you have read #AgentZo - it was his taped interviews with #Zo during the communist era that gave me so much material.
Home tomorrow!
