News from the clan in finland. Friday, July 22, 2016. Children's City Museum Reopening and the New Helsinki City Museum. As I mentioned earlier I was keen to go back the the Sederholm House Children's Town which closed a few years ago after being open. A very short time. It's now called Children's City/ Lasten Kaupunki to match to the new Helsinki City Museum /. That has opened in the buildings around it. Though the name change may have been due to my poor Finnish skills earlier on. The kids also liked t...

News from the clan in finland. Tuesday, December 22, 2015. 2015 - Where Has it Gone? 2015 has been a blur, so I'm struggling to know where to begin with this annual review. The year started with a bump when the Chief lost his mum just after Christmas. We rushed off to Scotland for the funeral and while it was lovely to catch up with everyone briefly, it was a tough visit. The early part of the year was organising Foo's entry into primary school, Finnish paperwork galore. The rest of the summer. Was spent...

News from the clan in finland. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Substitutes - Unprocessed Family Update. You can follow our unprocessed adventure here:. Part 1 - Food for Thought. Part 2 - Update. I've discovered wine is ok to drink, but cider isn't, so am not having even the occasional drink at home as I don't see the point of opening a bottle for one glass. I liked the taste of these pancakes, but I haven't been able to get them to stay pancake shape, they always end up scrambled. I am beginning to get some cou...

News from the clan in finland. Tuesday, March 1, 2016. We're a bit desperate for Spring here. I know we've only had snow for a couple of months, but the cold and dark starts back in November so by the time the sun returns and we begin to feel a hint of warmth, we are more than ready for it. It doesn't help that the rest of the Northern Hemisphere is already properly into Spring it feels, so I see photos on Instagram and Facebook that highlight the difference even more. I saw the term kevä-talvi. A Winter...

News from the clan in finland. Saturday, May 30, 2015. In March The Chief took a long weekend skiing holiday with some workmates, so we discussed the idea of a short break for myself sometime, sans kids, sans Chief. It's been an idea batted around a bit over the years, but there's always been a baby that couldn't be left or the timing wasn't right or I wasn't ready. I finally bit the bullet and booked myself 5 days in Barcelona. My favourite photo of the trip. Tuesday, May 19, 2015. Each day we're gettin...

News from the clan in finland. Friday, September 18, 2015. Now that we've settled back into our crazy school routine, I can focus a little on autumn that has hit us full force. Rainy days, cool nights, leaves falling, apples ripe and ready. My favourite season, but I never seem to have enough time to properly enjoy it. We discovered a pick your own corn field near our fave petting zoo. A huge bag of corn for 20 euros, amazing. And a local field to pick free sunflowers, love free produce. Our resident har...

News from the clan in finland. Sunday, September 11, 2016. Whittling and Spinning - Finnish Traditional Crafts. Now for something completely different. Our teacher was the lovely Saara Kantanen of K. The class was run at the lovely Heavenly Scent. A friendly gift shop and monthly cafe. The weather was lovely, so we were able to work in the back garden with the sheep, chickens and rabbits who all came over to inspect our work. Photo by Monique Pyylampi. Photo by Monique Pyylampi.
