My wife, Ania, is my James Bond, and I am her Q. This combination leaves little room for authoritarianism, which is part of the reason we leave in a flat that is moderne in style instead of some mock-baroque or twee pretend manor house type of flat. We do not need to surround us with signs of comfort, we can do that well enough in our heads, and simply by being together.

The sad thing is, at around half a century a worryingly large proportion of our generation here in Poland are in a slow dive to the grave, having long ago given up on the will to explore - they were convinced that they knew enough, but life moved on and new ideas have replaced the old, consigning our generation to the scrap heap of society. This is reflected in the way that they think, and the way that they dress.

Ania, though, is like a diamond among them, she can see outside the box that we all live in.
