Spring is finally here!

One more post to update all the things which happened during the last weeks.

SPRING IS FINALLY HERE! :-)

It´s so nice because I was longing for spring such a long time and now it finally arrived also here in Finland! I have taken some photos of my way back home from the train station, when I came back from Kuopio last weekend, it was a reallly hot sunday!

Here we go:

This first photo was taken on saturday in Kuopio. It´s some big building on the other side of the market square. It looked so beautiful that I had to take a photo of it. ;-)

Since we had some politic thing on saturday, where you can go and choose some politicans or whatever, everyone in whole Finland has taken out his flag. At least those people, who have a flag. I was wondering already in Kuopio, when I was waiting for my train back home, why I can see everywhere those flags:

I really like the finnish flag, so always if I see one, I have to take a photo of it and as you can see, the wind was perfect at that moment. :-)

I was happy that I just had two hours in the train, since I started not to like travelling by train anymore. Usually I liked it to travel by train, by bus or by airplane but when you are travelling so often as I did in the last time, you get really tired of it, especially when you have to change trains, busses, or airplanes. You always have to wait or you´re afraid to miss your next train/bus/airplane, because the first was too late.

After two hours in train, which were passed by really fast, I arrived back home and I walked over 20 minutes from the train station to our house. I had my luggage with me of course, my bag and my laptop, so it was not so nice to walk so long, especially because it was so hot on that day! Or at least it was hot for us here in Finland. ;-)

But when I have seen how beautiful our scenery looks in the sun and that almost all the snow went away, I was so happy that I walked and of course I took some photos! ;-)

On the right side of the photo there is the small town, which you cannot see unfortunately so much on that picture, and on the left side there it´s going to my home, where I live at the moment.

But the best day was yesterday! It was so warm and sunny outside that I almost couldn´t believe it! I went out with the dog and went to a small beach, which is probably 5 minutes from our house and there´s a lake too. You cannot see the beach really much since there is still a bit of snow, but anyway, the scenery was so very beautiful! I was sitting there for an hour

maybe and watched the dog walking around and playing and just relaxed in the sun.

I was just enjoying the spring. :-)

You cannot imagine how good it feels to have such a beautiful weather after almost 4 months snow, darkness and coldness.

I mean I wasn´t depressive or "melancholic" in that finnish winter time, although I haven´t been used to it and I imagined it would be much harder than it was in the end, but of course I was longing for spring now in

the last weeks since I got tired to see just snow. I love snow really much, but after a time you get really tired of it and after a time the snow gets also pretty dirty from the cars, the air, etc. and then it doesn´t look like really nice anymore.

Unfortunately it was raining the whole day today, but I didn´t care that much since I was still so happy about the weather we had yesterday and the days before.

I mean we cannot have beautiful weather every day.

Now I´m going to sleep since it´s already quite late and I have a lot of things to do tomorrow.

I have to work tomorrow, I have to clean up and wash some clothes and then I have to pack my stuff since I´m going to Helsinki on Friday morning.

Let´s say in the very early morning ... at 4 o´clock!

I´ll meet my lovely relations there which are coming to Helsinki by ferry, they start today and will be over 15 hours on the ferry, which means that they will have a sleep-over on the ferry and they will arrive at 9:55 in Helsinki. The same time as I´m going to arrive by train.

So have a good night and sleep well!
