Portraits of my Niece
I am back in Moscow now, after a few pretty traumatic weeks, watching my Dad decline in hospital, but one of the bright lights amongst all this was that for the last week or so my brother came to Spain bringing my niece with him.
The Finca Project – Part 1
My brother and his wife already have one great house in Fortuna, Murcia, Spain, but they have been on the look out for new possibilities for a while, and in the summer they bought a new place.

When I arrived my parents were there to meet me at the airport and my Dad seemed a lot better than when I left them only a few weeks earlier when he was still in hospital.

Moved to Moscow……..Finally
Well I had to delay posting this for a week due to not having the photos for it but here goes, and I have just linked to the photos on Flickr for this post. After a mad few weeks seeing people, getting our stuff packed away and either shipped, moved into storage, or moved to [...]
Visiting the Folks
So after Moscow and a bit more work on the house I went off to Spain for a few days to see my parents last week. It wasn’t exciting, nor full of incident, but I enjoyed it all the same, just seeing them. Most people reading this won’t know that my Dad was pretty ill [...]
Congratulations! It seems it was quite an event
