< In Czocha Castle[1][2], Poland is a Hotel but that is not your destination.....
< Your destination..... The Torture Room.....the end of your travel and your point of no return!
< The darkness over your live is already coming.....
The dogs and I go back to the Hotel and the next day the Hoverla Mountain.
We go up and you..... down!
< The Hoverla is my favourite mountain in the Ukraine. The highest mountain in Ukraine, 2061 m, and part of the Carpathian Mountains. The Hoverla is located in the Eastern Beskides or Wooded Carpathians. At the eastern slope there is the main spring of the Prut river.

Braco Italiano
[edit]I am the owner of the Kennel name “Del Campo di Diana”. I have bred several excellent dogs from the Bracco Italiano breed (Italian Pointer or Italian Pointing Dog), with trial and show championships in several countries from Europe and Europe championships.
This dog is one of the classic and ancient pointers. This breed is mainly selected in the northern regions of Italy. The breed has been present since the Middle Ages and became popular in the Renaissance. The Bracco Italiano was held in that period as hunting dog by the famous nobility like the Gonzaga and the Medici families.
There were three types of this breed:
- The white and orange variety originated in Piedmont (the "Piedmontese" pointer).
- The roan and brown variety originated in Lombardy (the “Lombard” pointer).
- The Piacenza pointer, (Bracchi Piacentini) a much higher dog and is after circa 1900 disappeared.
The Bracco Italiano[6][7] an excellent hunting dog but also a very good companion dog. The Bracco Italiano is a dog in the F.C.I Classification: Group 7, Pointing Dogs. Section 1.1 Continental Pointing Dogs, type: "Braque" and with working trial.

Cookery-books and cooking
[edit]I was in several countries and regions from Europe, North Africa, United States of America and the Caribbean. I like to cook and in all the countries where I was, the first walk was going to a book-shop and buying one or two cookery-books. Today I have a lot of these books and using them!
