Dear Ukrainian friends!

 I am very moved. I find it harder and harder to watch the news on TV. I think of you every day, how you resist! It's unspeakable and we can't imagine how you manage to live through this murderous war. 
We hope this war will end soon. But we also know the future risks for the whole of Europe. Unfortunately, Europe's economies are in dire straits.
May 2025 bring you serenity and rest. And excellent health.
With all my affection

Martine Marandel
