Hola Joy. The snow doesn't sound too great. We both can't wait for Australia - knowing how quickly the last 11 weeks have went, it won't be too long till we are there. I think the budget will stretch to some vino but don't think it will stretch to the quantities you and Beth normally drink!! There will be nowt left for any beer for me!! Hope your enjoying Russia.
