The Year I Missed Christmas

Being Christmas, we've followed a star - or was that a tsar? - to the east and landed up in....St. Petersburg!

Our accommodation, it has to be said, is a little more upmarket than the stable the three kings were heading towards. And, in these days of jet travel, our journey was rather quicker than theirs. Too quick, in fact, to catch the main event. Russians keep to the Orthodox calendar so Christmas Day won't roll around here until January 6th - by which time we'll be back in Britain where Christmas will be over.

I'm not complaining though. Our journey to the east will bring gifts of its own.
