A day in a life
by Anna Shornikova Sunday, August 9, 2020 We woke up quite early today. It was only 9:45 when I realized that I actually had a good sleep and that Nastya was already awake. I guess it’s the magic influence of the countryside where we are currently staying as guests. Just a few days ago ourContinue reading “A day in a life”

The blue sky of September 11th
by Arina Bocharova It was an ordinary morning. I went down to the first floor of the fire station for a cup of coffee before a new workday. The weather was fine, not like yesterday.

A day in a life

My hometown
