My Holiday in Canberra.

On my last holiday my husband and I went to Canberra.The weather was cloudy and I thought it could possibly rain.When we were way out from the city outside it was sunny, the road was good and we enjoyed the view around us. After two hours trip the view around changed. We could see yellow and red trees, dry grass and we felt autumn in the air. When we arrived in Canberra we had breakfast at Macdonald's. Then we stayed in a big park opposite Parliament House. We had admired the fountain and lakes and walked for a very long time inside the park. We took some photos and watched an exhibition about the place. Next we went to Parliament House but it was being repaired all around it. So we didn't go inside. We went to the city centre and had a nice lunch in a Thai reustarant.and My husband and I really enjoyed this day and decided to stay in Canberra for two more days. But you'll read about it next time.....

Winter Drawings



A very long time ago in Moscow, Russia there was a little girl who had no parents. She lived with her uncle. Her name was Maria. Every day she went to school by bicycle. It was far away, but the girl liked riding her bicycle.

One winter's day she opened her eyes and looked from her window. Outside the window everything was white. She looked at the white trees, the white road and the white roofs of the houses. That day Maria went on foot. She went past benches covered in snow. Her feet sank into the snow but the frosty air energised her.

When she got to school she looked beautiful. Her cheeks were pink and she felt happy. After school Maria told her uncle about it and he proposed to draw a picture of the first snow. It a was nice idea! Maria took a pencil and so these pictures were born ...
