St Petersburg
You simply must link to this fascinating blog from St Petersberg, from a young relative who is there on an academic conference.

Joanna, I've just spent a fasinating 20 min touring St Petersburg thru the eyes of this blog & loved it for the same reason I love yours: I get a glimpse of another part of the world that I'll probably never see. Awesome. Also wanted to tell you I love the new look of your blog! gb
Auntie has learned, with mingled pleasure and amusement, that her Blog annoys some people, especially angry dogmatic ones, and entertains and encourages others of a gentler sort. This has confirmed her decision to continue blogging although Auntie's life is busy and she has duties and responsibilities which on the whole she knows to be of more importance.
Auntie enjoys (although not neccesarily in this order)her work (writer, biographer, historian) and domestic duties, academic studies(Maryvale Institute), family, friends, and community responsibilities. She relishes the new translation of the Mass, the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, her own excellent local Catholic parish, traditional hymns (especially, perhaps, Anglican ones) rain, good literature, sleep, the English coast, Autumn, buttered toast, and a number of other things too precious and important to list here. She feels priviledged to belong to a Church which produced John Paul II and Benedict XVI and she finds their teachings an inspiration.
