Sweet Jesus -23
And BOY can you tell the difference – 5 minutes outside without gloves and hats makes you want to cry….
Breakfast and then on to Santa’s workshop 🙂
Lapland baby
It’s been a pretty long day but we arrived in Kittila finally at around 1pm local time (2 hours ahead of UK time). The transfer on the bus took all of 20 minutes although the sun had gone down not long after we arrived at the hotel (there is only 4 hours of sunlight during the day here at the moment).
Since then, we have sat through an orientation session, eaten dinner in the restaurant (not bad at all for buffet and included mulled wine 🙂 ), taken a nice walk around the local town of Levi (the kids were pulled along in sledges so they were all set) and finished up with a shower before getting settled for bed.
The town of Levi is stunningly beautiful, especially at night with the twinkling of the lights set against the snowy roads and ski slopes.
Tomorrow we set out early doors to Santa’s workshop to play football with some elves, bake some gingerbread cookies, check out the mail room and see Santa himself 🙂
Daddy is trying to persuade all to have a ski taster session – wish him luck as there appears to be resistance in the force…
Winter Preparations
So it seems that winter rain and winds are here even if the cold isn’t yet.
We have begun building up on our winter vacation and rainy dog walking gear so that we don’t have to run around in a mad panic in the days before we head North 🙂
So far we have base layers, snow pants and jackets for all but mummy and the boys all have snow boots which will also prove useful for dog walking in the winter weather later in the year.
By the end of the day we should also have a bag packed to go in the car for that situation where we get caught short following a walk somewhere.
Mummy has also had her flu shot on Friday evening before the fireworks and dinner at Grandma’s house. We are still not sure why the surgery sent a request for her to have the shot and neither are they it seems but she had it none the less.
We are still seeing daytime temperatures of around 15 Celcius which just seems crazy but we are not complaining.
Finally, the boys are back at school in the morning following their two week half term break and th are definitely ready to go back 🙂
Portugal Holiday snaps
Please find the photographs from the holiday in the album below, but before you browse those, check out the video of just one of the caves that we visited during our trip – obviously it is not nearly as exciting on a video, but it still get the point across… WOW
You must
