Can't hide the truth this time...

Somero town centre on Saturday afternoon

Over the past few months I have very much enjoyed being contacted by many people to whom Somero is important, but who do not live here at the moment. Some have been visitors to the town and some have summer cottages here. Others were born here or have lived here later in life but are currently somewhere else in the world.

What all these people have in common though, is that they have never left this town completely behind. It still remains important to them, and they have enjoyed seeing pictures of familiar places.

Of course, when I post photos of Somero,  most of the time I try to take photos which capture a pretty scene or a beautiful moment. Sometimes though there is no escaping the brutal truth!

The view from our front door yesterday

Today, I am happy to say, is another clear and frosty autumn morning.

But yesterday it was a different story. In the middle of the afternoon we were entertained by a blizzard of hail, and it wasn't pretty. I stopped in the middle of town to take a couple of pictures of places that will be very familiar to anyone who has been to Somero. This is what you have missed this weekend!

I don't know whether these pics will make you miss Somero, or glad that you are somewhere else, in better weather, but either way...you will recognise the centre of town.

So, to anyone who is missing Somero right now, this is what it looked like yesterday. Luckily the warmth of the people will always make up for the weather, even on days like yesterday. Hope to see some of you again soon!
