I had an odd dream last night.
My mother and her friend Hope (my sister in laws mom) were in our garden. They were just coming into the house when a young lass ran up to them from another garden and handed them a slip of paper. When they came into the house my mother wasn't interested in the slip of paper and gave it to me. It read "You will find it here" followed by an address...

Next scene, I find myself in semi deserted peasants village I assumed to be in Russian. Searching for the address, I went up to an old lady and showed her the slip of paper. She said "My goodness, are people still looking for that thing?" - and she took me to a derelict house site - just a floor and a back wall. Pegged onto a piece of string across the front of the lot was a printed picture, the size of a large birthday card. The picture in naive style, was of an old lady, from behind facing out towards trees. There was a lot of writing on the card. I knew I wasn't good at taking information in from the printed form so I tried to skim to get the gist of it. I gave that up as I couldn't follow it so read from the top. I read that the area here used to be all forest and on this spot an old lady used to stand waiting...

Then the wind got up and the card was moving around and I couldn't read more. It was about to be blown away but I grabbed at it. It was made of perforated sections and I came away with the bottom right hand corner when the picture flew away. I was distraught - I thought the whole mystery was lost. The old lady who showed me the way calmed me down and said "Read what is on the piece you have." It was a small red rectangle and on it were the words...

"...and she will ask you for an Oondel, and you will find that you have two of them, including one you never knew you had..."
