Greetings from Kyiv! I feel in my element, writing in a bookstore. Today, it was the first part about bread. The books beside me tell the history of Ukrainian cuisine.

Hi Yaroslava from northwest England. I'm so glad you have a good place to write 🥰. Your discipline shames me! I planned to write this morning (I'm trying writing for a new publication) but instead home admin got in the way! And yesterday we were walking by the sea in the🌞, so no writing then either!

Good bread is important. Different ways of baking everywhere I think. Does your neighbour still bake breads for you?

Greetings from🇨🇭 This looks great! So many things around you that make you happy. I am sure you found interesting facts in your books, history of food connected with history of Ukraine. I'm looking forward to a letter. Reminds me of Klopotenko's recipe book, inspired by Ukraines traditional food.

Afternoon to you. I watched a video of Ukrainian history and how Tarlin caused the biggest disaster to the people og Ukraine in 1939. I was shocked how your ancestors were treated and I think the tiny dictator in moscow is trying to do the same thing again which is just not right.
