I'm currently reading The Far Pavilions by M. M. Kaye. It was published in 1978 and is so beautifully written. The main character is born of English parents in India, where he stays for 12 years, lives in the palace as a playmate to the prince and then escapes... I finished reading "A Long Long Time Ago and Essentially True" by Brigid Pasulka a few days ago, which was good. Two stories one of a grandfather, in his youth, and one of his granddaughter at the same age, going through life as one does as a new adult, working or studying and finding your place.
Using Wheat Montana prairie gold flour in baking bread. We drove through Montana about 10 years ago and stopped at their place, very nice bakery and gift shop.
My sister and her family gave us this wooden icon house as a gift and we just hung it up last week. Isn't it nice?
The sunshine is perfect on these cold days.

I do love your icon house!
The book you are reading sounds very interesting. I'm also reading one about India by Rumer Godden, a novel that is said to be her most autobiographical, and indeed, it sounds very much like her memoirs from the beginning: Kingfishers on Fire.
The novel about Poland I loved; I'd like to read it again.
The pictures of the boys and the St Basil loaf and snow.... all lovely. I admire your pluck for moving up north!
