Sunny May

The past May was exceptionally sunny and warm in Finland - the summer truly arrived well in advance this year. And you will not hear me complaining!

I have continued restyling my home but also spent a lot of time outdoors. You simply have to make the most of the perfect warm weather once you can, you never know what the rest of the summer has in store when it comes to Finnish weather. 

During one of the weekends I visited the Helsinki zoo with my goddaughter and her family members. Three hours of various animals and a lot of walking in the sun in a great company. Luckily we managed to see a glimpse of my favorite three animals; the lion, tiger and peacock. We also ended up finding a Persian restaurant with tasty, authentic food in the eastern part of Helsinki. A nice experience indeed! Me enjoying also all the glittering decorations in the restaurant. :D

Last week I enjoyed visiting the charming city of Porvoo - a must at least once in a summer. Climbing up on a hill along a small path awarded with some great views over the city. Many times you can find the most unexpected things by accident, without planning. <3

Have a great weekend! I will spend mine with my goddaughter - let's see what we come up with.
