| The Neva River frozen all winter was thawing rapidly in spring sunshine. As Anita and I walked by the frozen water we could hear the ice groan and crack demonstrating the power of our friendly star 93 million miles away. Photograph taken by Anita Roberts on a hand-held Sony Cybershot camera. |
In spring 2011,Toot and I had a wonderful time in St Petersburg. Its a beautiful historic city with great museums, fabulous churches, the cruiser Aurora, the Hermitage Art Gallery, and the Winter Palace to visit. It was however very cold and snowed whilst we were there. The warmth and kindness of the Russian people we met more than compensated for the chilly weather and Toot and I would recommend a holiday in this fabulous city.
