Visited Helsinki last weekend. Lots of snow around; the first day when we arrived there were piles of snow, but by the second day everything was covered in snow! I hadn’t been in the snow since I was a kid – so I acted like a kid, walking through the snow, jumping in it, kicking the ice and staring at it for ages. It’s a great thing when you get to see something new and fresh; you just keep staring – literally, I could’ve stared at it for hours on end. Now, i’m just staring at the photographs of snow.
I’m surprised at how snow is when it falls though – I always had this perception that it fell and it was already soft, but it’s icy cold and sharp – but tiny. When it hits you it tickles – was literally having giggle fits in the middle of the street while walking in between cursing that it kept getting into my eyes. But, it was so amazing. I can’t decide whether I like snow or rain better; though I do know I prefer the sound of falling rain and watching it fall down windows.
Hope you had a warm weekend!
Lots of Love,
