Rachel Graham's off to Moscow!

Rach came to stay last night, and we had a great evening gassing away about life, the universe, Frankfurt, jobs and..... Moscow!!

Yes, more than a decade after spending 6 months there as part of her degree (and when Ruth and I went to visit after our 3rd year finals) Rachel Graham's heading back east! She's got a job on The Moscow Times, and starts in the summer. Cor!

I've already put in my request for a trip on the Trans-Siberian-or-Mongolian once she's settled in :) Oooh look - you can take in the Ice Festival at Harbin....

So that's next year's holiday sorted!

Hmmmm, *maybe* I could combine it with a trip back westwards along the Silk Route....
