You might think that this month's new header image is a bit early, especially if you are in the UK having just enjoyed the late summer bank holiday, and breathing a sigh of relief the kids are back to school. But looking out our window you can believe autumn is already here. A cool, damp, windy day;
koivu (birch) leaves fading and falling to the ground; mushrooms sprouting up. In fact that header picture was taken at the end of September last year (see
Autumn Colours), and this year's
ruska (the aforesaid autumnal vegetation) will be well underway, the autumn equinox will have been and gone, and Finns will be bringing out the cold weather gear from the attic before the month is done and the header changes again. And the bad news for me is the same is forecast for next Sunday - not ideal for
the big ride.
It seems like only yesterday I was wandering around
stadi under blues skies showing our weekend visitors from London the sights, and taking
touristy snaps with my (slightly early*) birthday present. Hang on it
was only yesterday... Where are my jumpers and wooly socks?
*Well I had to make sure it worked, right?
