And another thing.......

to add to Alex's post about the Finnish conspiracy may I also say, in an attempt to make everyone wild with jealousy, take a long look at the photograph of the beach. Nicer than Blackpool?

So, for all those who thought it amusing that we would be moving to one of the coldest countries that they could think of- ha!- for now at least. We are laughing at the moment, as we have the beach to go with the sun and the heat and the relaxation but I promise you can all laugh back at us again in winter when we will be freezing our lihapiirakka's off (meat doughnuts).

Oh yes- you heard me right- MEAT DOUGHNUTS. They are a Finnish delicacy but instead of being stuffed with jam, they are stuffed with meat and onion. As a Wiganner, and a Leither, we would be lying if we didn't admit that we were, at first, mildly offended by the mistreatment of what can only be described as the Finnish atttempt at a pie. However, we are becoming quite accustomed to them and will insisit that all Wiganners who come to visit must sample them. (despite the minging picture)
