Ewa studied architecture in her home town of Krakow but spent one semester studying in Germany. Broadening cultural horizons was  tempting and made her decide to become  part of  the Polish flood in to the UK. She set her foot in London one summer holiday that changed her life forever. After graduating as an architect she moved to London where she’s lived ever since.

Keith from Fife in Scotland didn’t find his life at home too exciting so went off to Australia. After one year he couldn’t extend his visa  and had to head back to the UK. Regretted it at first but then on his way back to Scotland he  stopped to visit London, somebody walked into his life and changed his mind completely. Keith has never made it back to Scotland…! Well…he has but only for holidays.

When in London for summer break, Ewa decided to improve her English and get used to the language. What’s the best place to do that, she thought? In a  pub! Where else? She ended up at London Bridge and walked into a pub where she had an interview and later got the job as a barmaid. And there was Keith, assistant manager at the time… and there was a picnic at Greenwich Park and there was wine and there were walks in London………

…and there was a general manager in the pub who told him: “don’t screw your own crew”…Thanks, Ron. There’s a lot more to it than that! 😉

Ewa, now a fully qualified architect, works for an architectural practice in London. She is the one wearing trousers at home because she didn’t want Keith to be the boss both at work and outside it. That would be too much! There has to be some power balance in life 🙂

Keith, even though Scottish, doesn’t wear a skirt however! Used to be bossy at work as any manager should be but a fabulous partner at home putting up with the power balance 😉 These days however things change everywhere and Keith has also changed his job and has become an estate agent! He’s not his own boss anymore so maybe he should get some power back at home…….? Hmmm… Nah…! 🙂

And here we are when we first met:
