Even though Przeździedza is very small and a bit forgotten village, as it turns out it has a lot of mysteries. Some of them we will be able to know on 27^th of May 2012 in black smithy, which opens its door to visitors. People will be able to see a room when some time ago a black smith was working and special room on the floor, where you will be able to witness how time almost stopped. 

Special construction

Black smithy in  Przeźdizedza doesn’t look very impressive now, but as it turns out it’s a very special object. The building from the outside seems quite normal, maybe in a result of a bit unlucky history of this place. Special pillars which were proud decorations of this house were devastated. So right now it looks just like a pillar house and that kind of building we have a lot at our place. But until today you can find there a special room upstairs what is not typical for those kind of houses. Most of umgebinde houses have “frameworks’ room” on the floor, but blacksmithy in Przeździedza is unique, because this room is on the first floor. This is the only house in Poland with such kind of construction. And maybe this special part gave the smithy in Przeździedza a chance to participate in Open Day of the upper Lusatian Half-timbered House this year!

Let’s look inside…

More details about  Open Days of the upper Lusatian Half-timbered House you can find on this website : www.umgebindeland.de  (it’s also available in polish). In this event  17 houses from Poland are taking part, which you also can visit from the inside.  We encourage you to visit smithy in Przeździedza – maybe its not so shiny as some Greman or Czech houses, but it is ours. Maybe now our blacksmithy is far behind such houses like „Zagroda Kołodzieja” in Zgorzelc or „Chata Sudecka u Prezesa” in Szklarska Poręba, but it has its own charm and loveliness. So we invite every interested person on 27th of May to come and see that on their own eyes.

Near to us, in one family in Marczów, a big tragedy is taking place: 8-year old girl is fighting for her life. Doctors diagnosed malignant lymphangioma. Parents are giving to the girl everything they can – their time, love and sacrifice. But right now its not enough – our help is needed and moreover it doesn’t cost us a thing! All we have to do is to give 1 % of our tax to Oliwka.

What in fact is that lymphangioma?

Lymphangioma is a cancer who is growing in cells of lymphatic system. And lymphatic system is necessary for protection our body from infections and some diseases. Cells which are bulding lymphatic systems are called lymphocytes. A part of them is in our blond as a part of white blood cells. [1]

Lymphangioma, similar to leukemia, is a cancer of white blood cells which are expanding without a control. And white blood cells are responsible in our body for immunity system. Paradoxically they should protect us from diseases including cancers.[2]

We can help

Lymphangioma, which was diagnosed in girl’s body () is not a sentence. But complicated healing programs including chemotherapy arenecessary. That kind of healing needs to be made in the specialist clinic for children fighting with cancer in Wrcław (Klinice Onkologii i Hematologii Dziecięcej). That process of healing and regular travels are very expensive.

Let’s help girls’ parents and during our tax accounts let’s give them 1 % of it, because we can dedicate it on any purpose.

How we can do it ?

It’s enough to to fill our PIT the name of organzation „Na ratunek Dzieciom z chorobą nowotworową”. Don’t forget to fill the number of registarion National Court Register KRS 0000086210 and postscript: Oliwia Jadach.

Here we have winter

This year no one expected so severe Winter. The frost theoretically possible at this season was a big surprise for all of us, because of mild and quite warm January. Looking at our thermometers we couldn’t believe that those terrible temperature are not the lowest in the history.

Mild February?

According to notes in annals from previous centuries we can see that this Winter is not too severe. Bóbr was not covered with ice and forest animals still are fine on their own. To prove this statement it’s just enough to take a look at some notes from area near Lwówek Śląski[1]:

28^th of October 1364 – on that day Winter had came. In December, January and February there was so harsh frost that birds were frozen to death and they were falling from their flight on the ground.

15^th of February 1400 – the coldest day of the Winter that time when hungry wolves were attacking single walkers and a lot of breeding cattle were killed by them.

1441 – that year Winter was also very harsh. For 14 weeks there was a big snow; for 6 weeks people couldn’t get from Bolesławiec to Lwówek Śląski. Next year winter ale was severe; frozen mills led to high prices and hunger.

1569 – spring was very dry and icy. People couldn’t pasture cattle and around Wleń trees didn’t bloom.

1572 – the cold and snow was so big that wolves were attacking people, and wine in church during the Sunday service were freezing in the chalice(!).

1583 – during carnival that year snow and freeze was so big that people were freezing to death on the roads.

1585 – Summer was so cold that farmers couldn’t reap the harvest. There was no fruit nor vegetables in the gardens. Farmers had to put on sheepskin coats to reap the crops.

2^nd of November 1624 – beginning of the winter. There was so much of snow that some cottages and houses were covered by snow completely! (you couldn’t even see them under the snow).

1^st of January 1649 – very big freeze and on 25^th of January temperature was so low, that in the vicinity were found frozen people.

19/20 April 1903 – snow thunder brought more than 1 meter of snow on the roads. In mountain villages houses were covered in the snow that you could see only chimneys. Three days later in our area we had big gale that 687 people had died and there were many destructions of buildings, forests and gardens.

28^th of October 1909 – on that day there was a big snow fall that trains couldn’t get to Świeradów Zdrój and Pobiedna from station in Mirsk.

1923/1924 – inhabitants of this area didn’t remember so snowy Winter. Unemployed people were commited to clearing roads of snow. In some districts level of snow was reaching treetops. Winter was also very long – it has finished in the beginning of the April.

May it be spring

Can we trust that kind of annual notes? It’s hard to say. But we can be very sure about one thing – today frozen birds are not falling down from the sky and no one report us frozen wine in the chalice and Bóbr is not covered with ice. So as far we have “mild” winter and we can enjoy it. Yet to March – which means beginning of astronomical spring – we have only a month!
