"Hello! My name is Laura (Laura). I live in Russia for over 20 years, most of them in a small village (population: 10 people) in the Bryansk Forest. My husband is Russian wildlife photographer and a fairly well-known blogger - shpilenok. However, now he is in the photo expedition in the north. I am also involved in the protection of nature. I am also a writer, which allows me to work from home and stay close with our two boys (his 9 and 12 years). I write articles, books, recently started a blog - llorax in Russian and English languages. Welcome to my world: Chuhraev village, Bryansk region. This is - an essay on one spring day, on March 13. "
