RUSSIA...The Golden Ring of Postcode 150,000

April 5th 2020
On our wedding day Denise & I exchanged gold rings. I was then told I could kiss my bride. I moved in and picked her up which brought gasps and squeals of delight. We then kissed long and hard.

Many years since I was in Russia
I really enjoy reading your blogs from Russia. It is a country I love but haven't been to for many years. Since it is not likely that I will go there anytime soon it feels great to read your stories as a substitute. /Ake

Nice to hear from you Ake. I can only imagine what it must be like in Sweden with such a massive neighbour that could be potentially friend or foe. Yet your small nation over the centuries has made Russia know you are not to be underestimated. To us in Oz Russia is a land of mystery with a history that is as full of intrigue as its territories are vast. We feel so fortunate to have been there so recently...and while we long to go back...will we ever get the chance? Keep safe & well from Denise & I and thanks for keeping in touch.
