Wszystkiego najlepszego w dniu imienin wszystkim Krystynom!
Happy namesday to all Christines.
Unfortunately my mother in law is no longer with us, but I found her collection of identity card photos and chose these to show you how beautiful she was.
13th March 2020 we had just wished her a happy namesday in her care home in Poland, and then we went to dinner, knowing!!! that we had a flight home the next day. While we were in the restaurant we sort of noticed that it was emptying fast. We ignored the situation, ordered a coffee and continued to have nice time. Then a waiter came up to us to warn us that they were closing the airport the next day. He also mentioned that the restaurant was closing and had just lost his job. We looked up and indeed he and we were the only people there.
The beginning of global lockdown.
So not only is today St Christine’s day but the fifth anniversary of what we thought was the beginning of the end!
Life Through Basia's Eyes 
Thank you for these photos of your mother in law, Krystyna Korzeniowska. It brings me that little bit closer to my Great Aunt, Janina Michałowska, who had become Krystyna’s adopted “Aunt”. Sadly I do not seem to have photos of either her or my Great Uncle, Józef Michałowski. Józef was murdered in April 1940 in Kharkov Forest. I had hoped to find a photo of him in the Military Archives in Warsaw, but despite a pretty complete service record still in existence, there is still no photo.I hope that you don’t mind if I take a copy of these photos.Kind regardsTadek

I will send you the jpeg next week. Are you in touch with Maria Szyszkowska? She might have some photos?

That was quite the abrupt warning of the lockdown.
