Last but not least

This is a recommendation with someone particular in mind so I hope that she is reading. If, alas, she is not, then this is still something that can warm the cockles of any of us who've hopped around to the myriad of Balkan Beats floating around these past couple of years.

The Russian folk festival of Maslenitsa is hitting London this Sunday and will feature a host of performances from Russian groups based both in Russia and the UK.

A week long version of Lent, there will be marionette puppetry, traditional games and, of course, the obligatory efnic food all in the shadow of Tower Bridge and in amongst The Scoop.

Anya, I hope you're getting all this :)

Love to all.
