Them bones, them bones need…..their picture taken…..money thrown at them…..a light dusting. I finally got round to visiting the beautiful town of Kutna Hora on Tuesday when we had a bank holiday in the Czech Republic. It seems to be one of the few places that a lot of my colleagues in work visit and … More Sedlec Ossuary
The Moravian town of Znojmo has some rather lovely windows. If there was a Czech league table for lovely windows, Znojmo would be right up there. Still have another blog post or three to come from our trip to Znojmo including a classical concert, birds of prey and more photos from this picturesque gem of … More Windows of Znojmo

A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of visiting the beautiful town of Znojmo in Moravia. We went during the classical music and wine festival (Is there a better combination?) and were blown away by an awesome private tour of one of the vineyards there. The town of Znojmo is quite picturesque indeed … More Znojmo: A model town
As part of our commitment to see more of the Czech Republic while we are here, we decided to go East this time. We had planned to visit the picturesque town of Litomyšl with it’s long narrow square.

I jumped up and immediately grabbed my camera expecting to see … More Pardubický vinařský půlmaratón.
No not that kind of high! the altitude kind, specifically scaling the relatively lofty heights of the Green Tower overlooking Pernštejn square. Now that Summer is starting to make an appearance, many of the cultural sights that had been closed for the Winter are starting to open up, including the Green … More Getting high in Pardubice
Last weekend we finally got around to exploring beyond Pardubice, and decided to pay a visit to Hradec Králove, the regional capitol of the neighbouring Kraj or district. A Kraj is divided into counties so it’s more akin to a province. Anyhoo geographical complexities aside, Hradec Králove came highly recommended by the community on expats.cz, a fantastic … More Adventure Time
If my strolls around Pardubice have taught me anything, it’s to always keep your eyes peeled for the little things, the details that are so easily missed. I know from walking back through the old square several times since I took the photos for this post that there’s a huge amount of details I missed, … More Details, Details, Details
And that’s just what they’ll do, and one of these days, these boots are gonna……walk all over Pardubice.

It’s a balmy four degrees today and all the snow has melted away, except for … More These boots are made for walking
