Hello, everyone! I have not added posts for a long time. Even obligatory tasks were delayed, I know. But now when spring has already come I made my 'New Spring resolution': be more conscientious! I hope the fresh energy of a new season will help me and I will manage:) I have decided to add some photos - as you know I am interested in taking pictures. They were taken during Easter last year, so it was about the same time in spring as it is now. You can see many buds of the apricot-tree, lovely yellow pansies in a flowerpot and tiny cornflower blue spring flowers. All those 'spring miracles' grew in my grandparents' garden.
Dame Mary Eugenia Charles (15 May 1919 - 6 September 2005) was born in the fishing village of Pointe Michel in Dominica. She attended the Convent School, the island's only girls' secondary school, and became interested in law while working at the colonial magistrate's court. She attended university in Toronto, Ontario, Canada before moving to the United Kingdom to attend the London School of Econimics. She returned to Dominica, where she became the island's first female lawyer, establishing a practice specialising in property law.
Charles began campaigning in politics during the 1960s against restrictions on press freedom. She helped to found the Dominica Freedom Party, and was its leader from the early 1970s until 1995.She was elected to the House of Assembly in 1970 and became Opposition Leader in 1975. She continued serving after Dominica gained full independence from British rule in 1978.
Charles and her party were considered conservative by Caribbean standards. However, many of her policies appeared centrist or even leftist by American standards; for instance she did support some social welfare programmes. Other issues that were important to her were anti-corruption measures and individual freedom. For her uncompromising stance on this and other issues, she became known as the "Iron Lady of the Caribbean" (after the original "Iron Lady", Magaet Thatcher).
Probably the best childhood memories are connected with holidays. Why is that? Maybe because it is leisure time full of fun that evokes nice feelings and experience we remember the best. I think about such feelings when I think of seaside - I go there almost every year and I take a lot of pictures there. Sitting on the beach, looking at the sunset - lovely. Here is one of the photos taken on the beach when I was a 9-year-old child.
Hello! My name is Agata and as you know from my profile I am a student of Enlish. I have got some interests and two of them are baking and taking photographs. For some of you baking may seem time-consuming ar difficult, but for me it is the most relaxing activity. It is my hobby actually. I've been collecting recipes for 7 years now and I can say my collection is quite big:) My second inteest is taking photographs, especially photos of landscape, plants and flowers (nature in general). I am going to share my interests with you. If you want to read more, just be patient - it is worth waiting:)
I am a student of the Teacher Training College of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. I attend classes from Monday to Friday, which is time-consuming and sometimes stressful. That is why I spend my free time on trying new recipes, which makes me relaxed and feel good. Recently I have become interested in photography, but not as a professionalist - I just treat it as my hobby.
