HELLO TO SUMMER FROM ŽNJAN SPLIT, CROATIA!

 Welcome, Summer! I greeted the start of this Summer in a hospital this year. Not the first time that has happened either. I've had many hospital stays in my life and many of them at the start of Summer. Autoimmune illnesses will often hit you as the seasons change. I'm out of the hospital now, and back at work.

It's definitely one of my favourite Croatian islands, perhaps even my favourite one. Croatian islands are pure magic. No wonder how many you visit, there always seems so much more to see and experience. Living on island Hvar and working as a teacher there, I really got to experience island Hvar magic.
