Has our time in the UK almost come to an end. It is unbelieveable that it is almost time to get on a plane and go home to Russia. I am always sad to leave a country that feels as nice as home , so much so that I now have a house in the UK which I have spent all my spare time renovating and I am pleased to tell you that I can now live there. Whilst i am sad to leave , I am really looking forward to seeing my niece Eva who is now 10months of age. My sister and my granny keep me in touch by sending pictures but now I really want to hold her again.

As the end of the first year of touring with our show Swan Lake comes to an end (YES, ONE YEAR) , we all wait to start the second year and are really so looking forward to seeing lots of new countries with our show and meeting lots of new people . Thank you everyone in the UK , Australia and New Zealand who have been so kind in supporting us , we wont forget you..promise.

We now have the pleasure of touring the UK and had a great time in opening the show in Manchester and getting our 8 month UK run under way. Its so nice to be back in the UK , it feels almost as a home to me and i am really looking forward to seeing lots of the english towns again. So far , the show has performed in Manchester and Bradford and we now have the chance of a rest week to catch our breath after a hectic opening week. If you have any questions , please do not be afraid to ask.
