It poured with rain most of today, but far from being a bad thing, almost the whole of Somero is happy as it means the end of the snow. Finally.
I have to admit that when you have lived more years abroad than in Finland, April can be a very tricky month to come to terms with. My good friend Jane, who lives in Strasbourg, says that this week it has been 25 degrees there. We are up to about 8 degrees, but it would be a lie to pretend I'm not jealous of Jane. I am.
By the way...a date for your diaries. Somero will hold the second "Somero Seikkailu" (like an Amazing Race around Somero) on Saturday 8th June. It is open to anyone who would like to join in. Participants arrive by car and are given a passport in which to collect stamps from different destinations around Somero. At each place there is an activity to complete and there are several pitstops offering coffee and cakes or a place in which to eat a picnic.
At the end of the day all participants who have a certain number of stamps in their passports can enter into a draw to win various prizes. It was great fun last year, and the event is expected to be bigger this time round, so if you are already in Somero, or planning to visit some time, this would be a great weekend to join in.
Unfortunately Luca (now a big boy at five years old) decided this week to steal my camera and then "drop" it, the result being that it no longer works, so no picture for today, but I hope to have the camera back to working order asap.
Wishing you all a happy end of the week. The weekend is on the way.....

back down to 14 today, and rain. Likely to stay that way all weekend. But the trees are in leaf, the magnolias are in bloom, no going back to winter now. But you know that Strasbourg summers are sticky and unpleasant, as I am sure Somero summers are not.
