Spring
Spring is creeping in a stop start way into the Southern Uplands. The snowdrops are out, and the daffodils are nearly out. Most of the local famers have given up keeping any sheep or cattle. Everyone is waiting for the windfarm decision. To pass the time, I have planted some bulbs. Travel to and from this part of Scotland was disrupted for several weeks by a rail crash near Oxenholme in the Lake District, but the service was restored yesterday. this is good, because I am going to London to investigate the Country Living show at the Islington Design Centre. Country Living in Russia is simple and short. I suspect that Country Living in Britain will be more like the home life of Liz Hurley in the Cotswolds. If you and Natasha aspire to status in your country mansion there must be an Aga and perhaps some labrador dogs. More later in the week. Yours Tatiana
