Reading Again

Hey Ho :)

xXx

It's been a while since I had my nose in a good book. Recently I went to a car boot sale (it's got to be one of the best things about Saturdays and Bank Holidays!) and having successfully avoided buying more dresses- I reckon I'm now at that stage where I can legitimately claim to have 'too many' lucky me!- I came across a box full of classic literature and decided that a few volumes would be 

a much more worthwhile investment.

(I stand corrected- my memory failed me terribly!
Jane Eyre is by Charlotte Bronte
Wuthering Heights is by Emily Bronte
tut, tut Heidi!)

привет!

Ok, so a little confession to make: 

I haven't been able to find much time for Russian, oh dear, I must try harder ;)

However, I was able to practice a few basic phrases with my mum the other day, and here they are:
