The Steppes....

As you know, today has found me in Moscow, where I had a delightful trip to the State Circus.

This lady has nothing to do with that however...this is Svetlana, the girl who cleans the B&B I'm staying in. She has a very novel approach to dusting the stairs.....

Bizarrely, I'm finding the locals very easy to understand....I had no idea how much the Russian language resembles English!!!
