I get so many questions about my header I decided to leave an explanation here. The photograph in my header was taken by my husband from our Bed and Breakfast bedroom window in Conwy, Wales. We were staying at Bryn B & B right adjacent to the castle wall. This was a trip we took in May of 2006 with 4 of our friends. While in Conwy we ate at the most wonderful restaurant, Bistro Conwy. We also tried to climb Mt. Snowden but the weather was against us that day.
Hi Ellen,
Are you from Molokan’s family? I am from Molokan’s family. My Grand mother’s family (Shubins, Morozovs and Karyakins) emigrated from Kars to Stavropol and later to Tbilisi, Georgia. But her older sister Maria Vedenoff (passed away in the middle of 70-th) immigrated with her husband and three children to California. Also I know that My Grand mother’s cousin with his family also moved to California. Their family name was Shubin. I really would like to find some relatives, though I know that probably most of them already dead, or very old… May be some their children, grand-children remember something about the family roots? And may be somebody could advise if there is a Molokan’s comunity in Canada?
Thank you,
Iren (from Montreal, QC)
hey Ellen..new visitor…
It’s a great header.. I love castle and green colour…
Im going to travel this August..and going to see alot of castles ..:)
Ellen, I came back by for a second look at your header, and then I saw this link. So it’s WALES! Beautiful. There is a castle that looks much like this on Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. This is equally lovely.

Hello, I am going to my grandma’s Molokan funeral and I do not know what to wear besides that it must be light colored. Where do I find a babuska (the scarf?) Can I just wear any type of scarf? help!
I have always thought your header looked familiar and now I know why! I visited Conwy Castle several years ago.
Beautiful photo…I so love it there
