The old ways #4

This is from my trip to Warsaw in the end of August 2024. Here we go the secret path to the wild apple tree

Then I bought this cake and a cup of coffee at The Railway Station in Warsaw 

 

The lime tree in bloom and summer storms

I have read we experience the most chilly summer since 2011 and I think it can be true as undeniably it is been cold. But not that cold to make you feel bad... For instance, today the temp was around 25 C, or recently we had around 22C so this is only a cold summer. It happens sometimes here in Poland. This year we had been not experiencing heat like 35C, and it seems we will have it not. Personally I adore heat waves from the bottom of my heart but I know people rather don't like it.

The lime trees grow here next to our place, we have a real lime tree wood in the spot hidden from the traffic polution. That is why I decided for the first time in my life to pick the flowers up. While I was harvesting it two ladies stopped there and we were talking a longer time about herbs. One of them told me a lot of useful things.

I boiled it and I was sitting with my feet in this wonderful bath. I was also wondering maybe it could be good for my hair as a shadow. See how beautiful colour ! I mean the water has the shadow that looks properly, at least for my dark blond hair. The next solution is to use it in the kitchen. I was watching it in tv. The monks from Silesia know the recipe where the lime tree tea is one of the ingredients in the marinate for chicken.

So I went to get more and unfortunately it turned out the trees are not blooming any more now. So next year I will for sure.

June and July are rainy months full of storms. I adore summer storms, of course while at home sipping tea. Maybe this is our last summer in Warsaw, guys. I will tell you later.
