Countryside and Repin
Written by leggett 6 months ago
How wonderful to get to Repin's house. He is one of my favourites (bought a book about him at Artists' House in Moscow). I know envy is one of the seven deadly sins, but it is plaguing me now! My sister just called to say she has her Russian visa (I am still considering cutting her off for not taking me with her). And yes, the countryside is so perfect - so green, and full of wildflowers and little creatures that snuffle and chew in the grass (which also seems to have something special about it), and then there is the prospect of the forests, with even more wonderful flowers and green. Yes, it is easy to feel melancholy about the prospect of missing it. Still, just knowing it once is a blessing! I think you are enjoying every minute - wonderful! All the best, Susan.
