Olga's wedding photos, and some from the garden here...

Anna's sister Olga was married in St Petersburg on Friday 25th May, the day that I was returning fom Benmore with my class. Although we were invited to be there, it proved impossible for both Anna or me to get time off work. Today however, Olga phoned us to let us know that a slideshow of pictures showing her and her new husband Nikolai were available for us all to see on the net. Anna was delighted to see them, as we all were, and so we have saved a few for here. It all seems to have gone very well- and it was nice for us all to see Kolya (Nikolai) for the first time! Sandy immediately asked when Olga will come to see us, so we have urged him to ask her personally the next time he speaks to her on the phone.
One of the pictures shows the group who attended the wedding, including Anna's mum and dad, although Aunt Lucia and Uncle Boris were not in the photo. Olga explained to Anna that Boris could not tear himself away from playing snooker to come to be photographed!!






Meanwhile, here, Sandy was intent on flying his toy helicopter that he won at the fair in Haddington yesterday. We had a go at launching it this morning, and took these photos of him and Olivia.
