Our Spanish class is now down to the faithful few. The Moroccan girls have left as have the two Rumanian girls. It is now just a handful of Brits and the two Ukrainian ladies that are keeping the class going.
Some of the Brits are in the UK at the moment for various reasons and will presumably rejoin the class on their return - we will keep their seats warm.
On Tuesday, the daughter of one of the Ukranian ladies came to the class - a delightful young lady in every respect.
Before the class started, she stood up and introduced herself in perfect English. She then
gave us all a gift from the Ukraine.
The daughter explained that the little figures are in traditional Ukrainian costumes. They came with paper sticks that you can fix in the mouth or in the pipe and burn to simulate smoking. Obviously they don't have the same hang ups about smoking in the Ukraine that they have in Britain.
This is not the first time we have been given gifts by the Ukrainians in the class. Last year we were given hand made cushions by one of the other members of the class.
