Lilac trees at St Basils.

"These ladies are from Ukraine. I said hello in tourist Russian and they burst into laughter "Ookrainer, OOkrainer" they giggled.

Then the smell of these lilac trees outside St Basils made me and my colleague stop to smell the roses if you see what I mean.

A few stops away on the metro at the Olympiski Arena the UK delegation is holding a Eurovision press conference.

Interesting, but no lilacs, and no babushkas."
