Max my apologies for taking so long to reply ! ' I wonder if anyone can tell of the story behind the lake and the birds on it?'

I was told a tale whilst standing beside the lake with the swans on it that Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky had the inspiration to name his ballet Swan Lake Лебединое озеро and as we had both posted a photo of the lake , I have to admit though I can find no proof of this story!

Beautiful story, but this is not true. Tchaikovsky wrote "Swan lake" in Moscow on motives of German folklore....

Счастливого Рождества и счастливого Нового года

Спасибо! Желаю Вам в Новом Году счастья, здоровья, и исполнения всех Ваших желаний!

If I'm under the weather, I can barely stomach the idea of sitting in the office these days, hats off to you for going to 'your office' feeling like that. :thumbup1:
