Incredible to think that Copernicus worked on this very wall in Olsztyn, mapping the progress of the sun each month, and developing his theory of the universe.

Thank you to Voivoide Radosław Król and Director of the Museum Piotr Żuchowski for showing me this fascinating place!

Thank you to Mayor Tadeusz Truskolaski and the staff at Jagiellonia Białystok for the incredibly warm welcome and tour of your fantastic stadium!

Maybe I could score a few goals for Jagiellonia this season? 😉

We are undergoing a major renovation at the Embassy, so all the plants in the Embassy have temporarily been relocated to my office.

I really like these new green surrounds!

My colleagues got me this great map of Poland where you can scratch off every new region you visit.

Update after my summer travels to Podlasie!

Still plenty of regions to visit in my last year!

Ambassador Patrick Haughey @ieambpoland.bsky.social · Aug 2

Three years since I arrived in Poland as Irish Ambassador, it has been the greatest honour and privilege of my life.

As I start my final year, I’m going to keep making the most of every opportunity, and enjoying our time in this great country.
