Introducing...

Well this is Dasha and she has just arrived at my house from Russia. She is quite tired as it is a very long flight. Dasha adores Matrioshkas, having tea in the morning and cold weather. Don't miss the photos of Forest, this little guy is Dasha's best friend and he sits quietly by her side as she reads or watches the moon rise. I hope you enjoy her.
