Last week we entertained our latest houseguest. he is from Canada, but we all share something in common. Can you guess what? Purely by chance we have all lived in Ukraine within the last few years. Wheras we spent an eventful 5 months in Kyiv, my colleague (and friend) spent 4 years on the Black Sea in Odessa. So, we asked him to wear his Ukranian football shirt when he came round for dinner so we could reminisce togerther. And,as usual, my wife was "the hostess with the mostess" as she prpared some delightful Ukranian dishes.
