In Novgorod, there's a tiny wee church (surrounded by about four others - they like their churches there) which has a beaten path completely encircling it. Apparently (so we were told), if you run on the path around the church three times, you'll have happiness for life. So, obviously, we had to give it a go! If you listen closely you can hear Pam squealing with joy as she runs in the opposite direction to us - getting some of that happiness already!
I've since found all sort of other rationales for the 'lucky' church, including this one about marital bliss. Considering Pip was the only one amongst us even close to matrimony, hopefully the good luck will last for the rest of us a bit longer into the future...!
