Well, it's been a week since the terrible blaze next door to dacha. We spent there weekend and got back to Moscow on Sunday. The house is a big ruin and only Rokki, the dog, is barking, hiding himself in a garage, which didn't suffer. The family are living in a small flat in Bukovo but it has been uninhabited for 10 years(the owners live in Moscow)and now poor people need to pay money to repairmen for putting running water, gas etc....It's really very cold these days in Moscow and we decided not to stay at dacha till Monday. The good news is that we saw Marina, Stephan and Stasik in Dzerzhinsky (where they rent a flat) on our way home. Have a look at some pics.Stephan is always very serious boy...

It happened yesterday at 6pm. I noticed some clouds in the sky but thought that might be blizzard, as it's been pretty cold in Moscow recently. But then Stanislaw cried "Irina's house in on fire!!!' We rushed to collect our documents and valuables as her house is just next to ours. Thanks God Fire Bruigade arrived and managed to put it down in 2,5 hours, It's in ruins now. We allowed poor people stay at our dacha until they find the way to live somewhere. God blessed us... Love and take care

Hi there, It's been long since I last posted sth but there was nothing special happening in my life. The most enjoyable experience was our visit to the musical 'Violets of Montmartre' at Hermitage Garden. It was so good that I fell in love with all those young actors and actresses performing in it. They are really great and I'm happy we still have such talents in Russia. It's been very snowy and cold in Moscow recently and the snow and ice made some of my favourite trees unrecognizable. I hope they will not die out by spring. Well, soon flying to NY to see Olia and Nun Anna. Really looking forward to it...Love and hugs...
