World events intrude even at The Gables

What would I do without the peace and the animals that surround me? World news and family crises cannot be kept out when I switch on the radio or look at my iPhone. I came in from feeding the three lambs to find a WhatsApp message from our dear friend (who feels like part of our family) whose mother remains in Lviv. She tells me that Lviv is being bombarded by Russian air strikes.

Lviv is a city I know well (see the chapter “From London to Lviv” in my book “Jews Milk Goats” – Amazon)

It is a place of beauty and also of great sorrow for my tribe but a place where I have learnt so much. I pray for its people, its historic buildings and the beautiful synagogue that we helped to restore 17 years ago

The restored synagogue
And some of the fabulous murals

  1. When l see or read anything about Lviv l always think of you and your connection Gill. I hope that Sarah and her family are safe in this latest bombardment xx
