Finland Final Day

After staying out late the previous night, having a snowball fight on the way home from the club, and eating a gargantuan Finnish 'meat pie' (its actually more like a burger in a bun made of savoury doughnut, and very nice too) we spent most of the last morning hung-over in bed.

Our only appointment was in Osmo's local, to watch Liverpool play United with Miika and some of Osmo's other mates. Herring was on the menu, which was good, but United won, so the mood was slightly down. Yes, that is a Liverpool Car Air Freshner around Osmo's neck in the below image...


And that was it! Obviously I had my usual last-minute-'I've forgotten something'-panic, making Osmo take me back up to the flat to check one last time, but other than that the journey went well. I had an amazing time, and while the images I've included here all look quite cold and dull, the country was a really atmospheric, beautiful place to be, and everyone I met (other than those Baker women!) was really warm and friendly to me. I haven't been travelling much, but I know Finland is one of my favourite countries.

Really enjoyable blog Mr. Midwinter, and many stories to re-tell the next time I see you. You know you want to.

I love Ashes in the Snow. And Lucas is misunderstood.

And I'm proud of you for using the BBC reporter trick - high risk, high reward with that particular one!
