Today I went for a long walk through the woodland with my two Samoyed dog friends, Bobby and Oki. Then we looked at Lyme Hall which was Mr. Darcy's house in the BBC film, 'Pride and Prejudice'.
I'm packed and ready to travel the world!

Hello Don, Debbie, Bobby and Oki!
I`m in Russia at last! I handed all presents to Maria and she asked me to write "Thank you!!!".
I met here another TV Terry, he is from USA. He helped me to go out of my box.
It was late when we left the post-office and already dark, that`s why we have nothing to do till tomorrow morning. I`m looking through photos of other TV`s and watch strange Russian music concert.
I will write to you again very soon.
Take care,
Pocket.

Good morning family!
I stood up earlier today to update my travelog. On Saturday I had my first excursion in the centre of Moscow. And first photos I want to show you are from Moscow underground.
And the first station I saw was Arbatskaya!

Hello my family!
As I promised here are my photos from Arbat. This is one of the most famous street in Moscow. There are many market places and souvenir-shops  here.

Quote:
The Arbat (Russian  Арба́т is an approximately one-kilometer long pedestrian street in the historical centre of Moscow. The Arbat has existed at least since the 15th century, thus laying claim to being one of the oldest surviving streets of the Russian capital. It forms the heart of the Arbat District of Moscow. Originally the street formed part of an important trade route and was home to a large number of craftsmen.


The second photo is made near tea-shop. Do you know this man Don? Sherlock Holmes!
And on forth photo you can see "Matreshka" - Russian wooden doll.  And on the last one - Snegurochka - she is the granddaughter of Ded Moroz (Santa Klaus). Instead of deers in Russia  Santa Klaus has granddaughter :)

Bye,
Have a nice week-end!

Hello family!
Last Sunday was the shopping-day!
You can see my photos in business centre  "European" . Do you like my new cap?
I like it, I can stand this cold weather with it.

Dear Don, Debbie, Bobby and Oki, Maria and I wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We will celebrate Christmas in countryside and I will make some photos there to show you.
Hugs,
Pocket.

Hello family!
I celebrated Christmas in the countryside with my TV-friends!
I met the snowman there and walked through the snow!
You will not see the Christmas tree here because Russian people celebrate Christmas on 7th of January and it is very religious holiday. And firtree and presents they have at New Year.

Hello family!
Yesterday we celebrated New Year with Maria and my TV-friends!
I met Ded Moroz (Russian Santa Claus) - he is very old, he lives with Maria`s family very-very long time. Maria told she didn`t remember the New Year without him.
I also decorated the fir with bear you`ve sent to Maria as a present.
I tried to find some presents before New Year but there was nothing! Cheating!

Hello family!
I had very pleasant walk through the forest and visited very small stadium. From Don`s e-mail I found out that there are the same amount of snow in UK!
Oh, I miss you guys!

On Wednesday I woke up early at the morning because Maria wanted to take me to her work.
She showed me her work place. Do you see her cup? She drinks much tea during working day!

And after this we went to her mother`s office and she was entertaining us with coffee and cookies.
But I don`t like to go to the office in spite of that.

Hello family!
I spent my weekend in countryside.
Here we have not less snow than you do in UK (I saw at the photos :) ).
My new TV-friends and I were sitting at the balcony and chatting. And in the afternoon we walked through the forest.
You also can see us in our travel bag :)

Hello family!
Maria took me to her German lessons and I met a bear who looked like me!
We were drinking tea together and listening to the lesson.
Do I have brother?

Hello Don and all!
Today I, Droopy and Maria went to the airport Sheremetevo to meet her brother.
I made some photos in the car and in the airport. The airport was really empty!

Hello family!
Today I visited the photo exhibition. It was interesting, but too crowded!
I found the photo of very old but nice car, can you see it Don?

It is very nasty weather in Moscow now so we can spend good time only at the exhibitions or in café what I think not so bad :)
How are you there and how is the weather?

Hi Everyone! I'm back home and I'm very tired after the long journey home from Moscow, so I'm going to have a little sleep now.
