Specially for Andrey

Pasha is one of Andrey's closest friends in Kiev. Once Andrey left to England Pasha continued coming for visits, now to spend time with Donskoy family (mostly with me, as I naively thought). Now that parents live in a separate house out in the village with 5 more kids Pasha continues visiting them. I guess it's the 'Donskoy magnetism' that draws everybody to Alexandrovka village. Almost every day different people (random guests, neighbours, friends and family) come to visit the big renewed version of the Donskoys.

That sunny beautiful day Pasha came not even knowing Jamie, Vadim, Katya and myself were already there. He came to plant rose bushes he brought. Normally people come to help with something around the house or just to have rest and enjoy the company. Vadim and Jamie are responsible for flying the kite and making kids run as fast as possible, jump as high as possible, shout and laugh as loud as possible... so they sleep well at night (what a blessed time of a day). Anyhow, this was one of those days. In the picture are Katya, myself and Sofiya and Pasha.

They'll need a bigger parking lot soon! :))
