...........Russian Grandma..........

Larisa with Charlie and Hannah.......finally we got them all together.

Charlotte was word perfect with her greeting, her thank you and her goodbye...........but I think we may have put a little too much onus on her.......at the end of the evening Jo gave her a lollipop.......she said "Thank you"........I said, " Can you say thank you in Russian?".............she replied............"Thank you in Russian"!

Larisa gave Charlotte a present.......a hand painted........by one of her students......Matryoshka doll...................she was so happy!

Just two more days of the visit left........ another day in school.............a show tomorrow evening...........and a mega shopping day at the Trafford Centre on Saturday............I think I'll give Saturday a miss............but I may have to get up at 2.00 a.m. on Sunday morning to see them off.

I was up at 4.00 this morning to get the Daughter off to the airport for her business trip........................so my bed is calling me.

Das vidanya moy padruga.
