How very interesting and how very Estonian and how very different to anything I have made before and shall ! When the fires stop burning . .Love the marinated and pickled cucumbers and mushrooms coming into the fray ! . OK, OK – do not use mayonnaise for health reasons but there is always yogurt in the fridge . . .

What is happening in Australia is just terrible. I am very hopeful and praying that this will soon be over. The flora and fauna of the world and Australia will never be the same again…

Ruta – unless unexpected rain arrives the fires will enlarge and burn until autumn. I have lived inside one of the main fire zones for eight weeks and shall never be quite the same again, At the moment much of the activity has moved southwards to our beautiful alpine country – the circumference of the largest of the nearly 80 fires there is over 5100 kms . . . the smoke which is killing our hearts and lungs could reach from Iceland to Turkey ! . . . We say thanks for every day below 35 C with winds under 50-60 kms per hour . . . thanks for caring !
