Finally we are in Finland. It was not so simple this time, just because of the changing regulations and the unstable corona-situation in Europe. There are so much negative news that the situation feels even worse than it really is. After all the safety checks, tests and being fully injected, we are safe and sound in the middle of nowhere in Kainuu. I stop following the news now for two weeks and only listen to the trees and waves. The whole July was very warm in Finland, but now it is much cooler. We missed the heat wave this time. No worries, we will warm up the wooden sauna every day.
It is relaxing to watch this view. The changes of the light, the colors and the direction of the wind. So refreshing and taking all the extra hustle out of our heads. Just focusing on the natural day rhythm and maybe inventing some new habits, being creative by really not doing so much.
The little island is waiting for our visit one of these days. It has been a bit stormy during the last two days. The calm pictures are from our first day here. There is a covered fire place in this tiny island. We will go there with the rowing boat when it's sunny later this week.

My son wanted to stay fit on our holiday. I'm quite proud how he build his own GYM on the beach. He was there working hard for an hour this morning.
Mosquitos and small walks around the woods. We collected some nice wild flowers with my daughter. We have to be creative to get the kids out in these grey days. This afternoon we will admire the views in Vuokatti, even visit to a local supermarket is like an adventure :)). Late summer greetings from Suomi!
