Hi everyone! well its pretty cold right now,during the day around minus 26oc and going down to minus 34 some evenings.
but its dry cold so very different from UK cold where it tends to be damp,so you can be out in the snow and stay dry..brilliant it is stuning as everything is covered in snow,every branch and twig and glistening in the sunshine,the lakes are frozen great for walks,ski-ing,skating and ice fishing . we will have snow untill end of April,unless it melts before! so we will have the keys in a few weeks but will move in in April as there is nothing we can do there with so much snow!
The growing season is shorter than in the UK however we have thoese glorious long summer days... more hours of light so more growing hours!! so we will put stuff into the ground in May,if its warm enough and let it do its thing!! snow usually comes around October and when it arrives thats it in the garden untill the following year!
last year we grew all the usuall veggies and had a bumper harvest,along side all the wild foods there are.
Yes property here is a whole lot cheaper than in the UK, you can get some amazing bargins if you are preared to live some way from a town. we are about 25 km from Savonlinna.
So welcome any one who would like to experience Finland, we want to encourage people out here as its not the usual destination! most people in the UK know very little about Finland,but its beautiful....
summer is around the corner so come on out If you are serious just PM me.
Sorry if this a little long |
