After another lovely long train journey we arrived in St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia for around 200 years previous to the 1st World war when it was moved so it would be less easy to capture. We pulled up outside a huge sparkly hotel and were all thrilled until we we're led down a graffiti covered alley next to the hotel to our slightly more humble abode...wishful thinking😊 After Bre...

Depicting an angel holding a cross and crushing a snake. The face of the angel is Alexander. The monument took only 1hr45m to erect which is blooming quick really!

various things I say to myself when I get ripped off.
I usually send the bill to God. Afterall, He could have stopped it. Don't punish yourselves too hard, hundreds of other suckers have probably been ripped off the same way! Thanks for the blog especially the art gallery news. with love form Robert just had his 5th cycle of chemotherapy he feels OK. I was blessed because some customers came and bought some art.Robert and Susan

LOL nice to see youre upholding the family name in the dancing department Lilly. The classic fists-infront-of-the-boobs-while-bobbing-from-side-to-side move is always a winner. Success. Also love the naked Russian men; I'm surprised James didn't join in (we all know how he loves getting his kit off. ....slut). HANNAH HAS THIRTEEN DAYS LEFT OF SCHOOL FOREVER AND EVER AMEN WOOOO. Also Sevens is coming up, ARE you jealous? Much argument over what outfits to get that will beat last years amazingly hawesome construction workers. I have therefore decided to go in the nuddy and beat (let's face it) pretty much everyone. Jake is watching AlloAllo in the background (thought I'd give you a running commentry) and someone goes 'HEIL HITLER' and this guy replies '....hail Mary...?' AHAHHAHAHAHA LAL. Maybe it's a have to be here thing. But to be fair I'm not even there I'm just in the background and I found it funny. In other news, I fell in the bath today. Not like slipped over whilst taking a bath or anything mildly sensible like that, I was fully dressed and was not even taking, or planning to take, a bath. Just decided to lean over the bath and it took me rather by surprise and I just toppled right in. It's quite a steep drop, I can tell ya THAT for free. Also if you have a minute and access to youtube watch Michael Mcintyre's phone conversation joke on Mock the Week it is HILAR. Also, I'm sitting here wearing the only headphones I could find (which happen to be classic over-the-head 90's style headphones, with microphone mouthpiece thing attached) and it reminded me of Peter Kay on the bus 'CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?' AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA ok I'm really going to go now cus this comment is getting steadily worse but don't you worry you will be hearing from me soon in yet another intelligent (and relevant) comment. Loves to everyone x x x x x x x x x x x x x
