After two weeks of rain and wind, we woke up in Somero this morning to find that everything was covered in five centimetres of snow. As usual the Finns were prepared, and by the time I drove out of our drive all the roads in the town had been visited and cleared by the snow plough. In England of course, you only need one flake of snow to arrive and everything shuts immediately. Roads, schools, airports...you name it, the country is in complete chaos. And if you are English and reading this you will know exactly what I mean!
Anyway, today was the date for Somerniemi Christmas Market, around a ten minute drive from Somero town centre. The market was much smaller and much quieter than it is in the summer when it is packed every Saturday. But there was still a nice atmosphere. I had a cup of "glögi" (mulled wine) with my good friends Anna-Liisa and Kirsti and also bumped into Keanne who was serving coffees in the cafe. H
ere are some pictures. Hope you are all enjoying the build up to Christmas.
