It was eight weeks since I locked up the działka for the winter - on Friday and today I was back for some country air and to check up on the place. Delighted to find no misfortunes have visited!
Newness to report. First surprise - it seems my street now has a name. Ulica Owocowa. Literally, 'Fruit Street'. But it's not yet 100% clear... The first house on my street is actually in Chynów - so is this the name for the short stump of the street that's not Jakubowizna? Or will the street name continue for its whole length? To the end of the asphalt? Or beyond - into the orchards and woods?
Below: looking south from the level crossing at a Kraków-bound InterCity express hurries towards Warka and Radom beyond. Modern PESA Dart train on this service.
Below: Chynów station, just before sunset. A new Koleje Mazowieckie Newag Impuls train pulls up to the platform. Of the five trains that passed me on my walk today, four were modern rolling stock, one was a modernised EN57. The entire line to Radom has been thoroughly upgraded (we still wait for Warka Miasto station to open, and for modern electronic signalling to enable trains to go faster).
