Holiday time

Live from the Russian border thanks to DNA Mobile internet. We are having a few days off and family get together. The place we are staying is great it even has its own boat and private landing with no neighbours to bother us.

To get here takes us 2 flights and a longish drive, the last part past the 40K of trucks queueing to get across the border to Russia, oil buys a lot of stuff including a Grimme potato harvester (sorry missed the photo RH drive is tough enough on its own)

I am jealous of the weather 27c when we arrived, could do with that back home. More later.

The border is a short distance away, but the bears get any Russians the border guard miss. It is dry sunny and warm, the Baltic is like a lake, the fish are jumping, beef on the barbie, Bliss.

Certainly not!  Internet connection has been a bit slow all those trucks are using up the bandwidth as they wait to cross the border. Followed a very hesitant UK truck today as he made his way along, I hope he had a special permit as he did not queue up as usual. The UK and US look pretty poor economies from here. Russia and the Euro zone seem to be doing pretty well, fuel is not very expensive at 1.30Eur a litre and shop prices are similar for clothes and less for food. The local markets are full of good fresh veg, all they need to make it perfect would be some good Scottish beef,
