Malatsova Orphanage

Today Zuzana and I went to Malatsova Orphanage to deliver some goodies that Susanne Nørregaard had brought from Denmark. Most of the kids were at camp but there were eleven of the under 5's. They look like they all need some fresh air which is quite possible as the orphanage is in the middle of nowhere. They were pleased to see us and took lots of pictures of themselves with my camera.

Scarlet Sails

Did you brave the chaos and crowds on Saturday night? Did anyone get their phone nicked? We had a few people in our apartment for ringside viewing of the amazing performance on the Neva. Best ever combination of fireworks, boats and music. Still in awe of it.

I also love the way the Russians get their German heads on when it is time to clear up after the revellers. No trace at all by 8am next day - and that includes most of the loud speakers, pontoons and light system.

Picnic Tours

Hello ladies,

Yesterday Steffi, Eli, Elisabeth, Lisa and I went on a picnic tour to a bit of woodland near Peterhof. Although we set off in the rain, as soon as it arrived it stopped. We had a nice stroll and then a champagne picnic before returning to the city. Thanks Steffi.
