Back home again

Just back this evening from the 1200km round trip up north to see my mother and other aunts and cousins. It's always a tiring trip, but at least this time the roads were good (I am probably the only person in Finland who is glad there is no snow here right now) so the drive was much easier than it has been sometimes.

It was lovely to be greeted by the children when I got home. Minttu still refuses to take off the famenco shoes she got from Father Christmas and Niko and Luca want to know why the Christmas tree is still up if Father Christmas isn't coming again until next year. As far as they are concerned, if Christmas is over, then it's over.

Two days left of 2013, so enough time to look back on the highlights of the year and plan some good stuff for 2014.

I know many people have had a rough time in recent months...so to all of you I send a big New Year's hug...and much love and warmth. Let's hope things look up for all of us once the new year comes to us in a couple of days time.
