Day off

Today we needed some rest and relaxation so we went for a 12-14 km hike (!) in the woods outside Kraków. None of the photos turned out very well as it was quite hazy, but we came across a zoo in the woods where the deer enclosure had artificial snow! (Attached)

It was hard not to switch off. We heard the sound of what transpired to be an approaching tractor and made a joke that it might be a Russian tank coming over the hill! Then I thought about the young woman we met yesterday - her husband is in the Ukrainian army and was in a military hospital as he had been wonded. As we were speaking to her she had a phone call, informing her that he had been treated and sent back to the front to fight! She broke down at that point.

We really want to thank everyone who has sent donations. You can be assured that they are being used to directly help refugees in lots of different ways.

We'll be back in the food tent first thing tomorrow and, in the afternoon, will be meeting 2 refugee families to help them with visa applications to come to Trawden. We really want to urge everyone to think about whether, if you are unable to youself, you know anyone who may have space to host a refugee family for a minimum of 6 months. The UK government has only processed 18,500 visa applications so far (including people with family in the UK). 

Thanks for your support. Please make comments if you have any.

The Third Christmas of the War.

Image
I remember when we first went to Ukraine, we thought we'd better hurry up and get over there to help before the war finished, and there'd be nothing for us to do. How naïve were we? The situation in Ukraine at present has got even worse, especially in the areas in close contact with the Russian forces, although with the constant Shahed and missile attacks nowhere is safe. Kherson has become particularly difficult, and delivering aid there is a direct threat to life. Any vehicle or person can be targeted by Russian small killer drones. This week, a vehicle that is used to deliver aid that we have sometimes used, was attacked and badly damaged beyond repair. Miraculously, the driver, a person I know survived but suffered injuries.  The occupants of a bus were not so fortunate. It was attacked, 3 people died and several more injured. It's really terrifying.  What's really sick is that the Russian's then post o...

The killing goes on.

Time diminishes things. News cycles bring new, more pressing concerns. But the war here in Ukraine grinds on, with deaths a daily occurrence. The killing seems to have become more incideous and heartless.This weekend in Kherson, delivering aid, under the fairly constant sound of artillery and drone attacks, I heard and saw the inhumanity of this senseless war. There is now a real tangible fear about going out in your car in Kherson. Over the last few months, individual cars have been targeted by Russian drones. These carry small bombs or grenade type munitions. . A car is targeted. An initial bomb dropped. The man realises he's  being targeted and tries to drive away at high speed. He then stops suddenly, hoping to get away. Opens his door to run away, but about two metres away from the car a small bomb explodes. With the door open, nothing seems to happen, then as in slow motion, a man falls from the driver's seat onto the road. Dead. It...

Krakow to Lviv

Image
We left Krakow at 3am because we had heard that there have been up to 3 hour waits on the Poland-Ukraine border. The balance has changed to more people returning to Ukraine (to the relatively safe western Lviv region) than leaving Ukraine. As it happened, we drove through the fairly haphazard border controls with no hold up. The first thing we noticed on the Ukrainian side were miles (literally) of lorries lining the side of the highway, which was only 2 lanes so made for fairly scary driving. On the Polish side was an equally long line of parked cars, waiting to be sold. We also noticed more potholes on Ukrainian roads than even East Lancashire! The purpose of our visit to Ukraine is 2-fold: firstly, we drove our friend, Romana, home to Lviv (in her car) with her 4-year-old daughter, as she decided against coming to England in order to be with her husband and family. Secondly, w...
