Our guests have gone and things are quiet around here, as we recover from colds, probably caught while tramping around Kiev in the freezing weather. Andy and Sara's visit was a great extension to our holidays and we don't really want to get back to work again. Such is life. The picture on the left is in front of the Christmas
tree in Kiev's Independence Square, where so many people pitched their tents during the Orange Revolution last year. The second is St. Vladimir's church, where we mingled with the worshippers on Ukrainian Christmas Day.
