Dear Barrie, you asked me to tell something about my town. Ok, I will.
I live in the south of Russia. My town isn’t big. Its population is about 250.000 people. It is a former mining town. Nowadays there is no coal mines here. The town is not far from Rostov-on-Don. In summer it can be very hot. My birthday is in July, in the middle of summer. That time it can be about +45 here.
That's why I like Kaliningrad so much. The climate is different there.
I tried to return there at least every 3 years. Last time I was in Kaliningrad 2 years ago. I was spending there almost all the summer. I gave such a gift to myself for my 49 th birthday. I remember that day. It was sunny and warm. I went to a small town by the sea and walked a lot, had a lot of coffee, listened to live music in the street near the café and answered my friends’ calls with congratulations. I enjoyed the smell of the sea, its color, the noise of sea-gulls.

If I tell about myself I should tell about my family first. It's not large - dad, mum, my sister. Dad is a very serious and intelligent man. He is 77 now. He had a dangerous profession. He is a former criminal police officer. Every woman wants to have a caring man near her. I have never had such a man near me except my father. My mother is 75 now. I must say she has the only one passion in her life. It's a huge love towards my father. For her there is nobody around. Only him. She catches his every word, his every glance, his every smile…
