We're back to our routine after some wonderful visits this summer and not having as many adventures to share, so I thought I share something else I enjoy here and that is Finnish stamp design - they are quite interesting and varied. The snowflake design is transparent and the sauna pictures are scratch&sniff with a birch aroma - Claire sent some of those on her recent visit. The post offices here sell a lot of other supplies and gift items too and are a great place to spend some euros.

We are enjoying a balmy start to autumn here so far, but do feel the chill in mornings and evenings; it's another month until official 'winter time' in Europe.
