Many of you will have read the article written by Ryan Eyre recalling his meeting with Paddy in 2009.

Ryan is now traveling through Europe on his way to take up a teaching position in  (Republic of) Georgia. I think he is in Kiev at the moment but he sent me these images from Iasi in north-eastern Romania. As we know Paddy spent a few happy years in Moldova with Balasha before the war and may well have visited Iasi.
