Hi all,

After a brief lul, the Screensaver team are back on the road. We’ve quite a run coming up, the first of which being 4 days in Poland.

We flew into Warsaw yesterday from Heathrow but our delay caused us to miss our connection to the city of Wroclaw where our filming was due to begin. Thankfully, our airline put us up in a hotel overnight and with 4 hours sleep made it onto a replacement flight very early this morning. Only snag was the searing pain in my head on landing, but I’ve put that down to the air pressure.

I don’t know about you, but Wroclaw isn’t somewhere I’d previously heard of, but the wonder of the world still amazes me and how many beautiful places there are that don’t even register on your radar!

Filming today has gone very well. A strong first interview (recorded in Polish) kicked things off well. The second interview not so great due to the background noise, so we may well reschedule that later.

We’ve also been able to investigate the city this afternoon in the lovely sunshine and made it up to the top of the church to film the city vista. The beauty of the main square has made things straightforward for us here so far, and the light has been gorgeous.

In between, I unwittingly managed to insult a waitress, but had a lovely lunch! Bar the slightly odd tasting ricotta in the pasta…

The team and I are now in the car, heading off to Katowice where we film tomorrow before Warsaw on Thursday and Friday. We’re in the very capable hands of our guide for the week, who’s been fantastic.

Enjoy the pictures and I’ll update again tomorrow. Hope everyone in London is surviving the tube strike!
