So the countdown begins. I have just two months left on my challenge to visit every Polish Province by the end of 2017 and I still have two to go! Here is this month’s Poll for November, which ends on 30th November 2017 and will dictate where I go in December 2017. Thanks to all your votes so far this year and good luck dictating my December destiny.

Hi Marina, thanks so much for your lovely heartfelt message and I wish you all the best to beat this horrible illness. It is really really tough and only this website, my writing and my friends help me through it. Be very careful who you meet and trust in your life. I trusted people too easily and expected all friends to be the same. I was wrong and I have had 18 months of suicidal thoughts now but I must battle on. I still pray to God every day that the person responsible will one day know it and apologise. Best wishes. Jonny
