We Now Have Snow.....arghhhh

Well I woke up Saturday morning to look outside and see my host brothers car covered in snow. That´s right, snow. After days of snowing now the footpaths are well and truly covered. Although I have been told it will melt soon and ´winter´won´t actually start properly until the end of November/start of December, luckily.

The backyard!Outside the house today!

And at 4:45....it is seriously this dark already!!

Also on Saturday I had my big finnish exam. Didn´t go aswell as I had hoped but that´s life I suppose. I took the easy one which everyone also thinks was really hard. I will find out in about 2 months though how I went.

My Trip To Estonia!!

Last weekend my host family (host parents, host sisters and one host brother) took me to a small country near Finland called Estonia. It only takes about 3 hours on a big boat to get there so it is very close. We had lots of fun on the boat and I think we only got about 3 hours sleep.

My Parents Trip to Finland!

Well on the 4th of October I travelled to Helsinki airport to go meet mum and dad. I don´t think I could describe just how excited I was about seeing them. The whole train trip there just didn´t feel real.

Mum and dad!

I think they had a great time, it was really good to see them after so long. Everyone got on really well with them and I think they got quite a few invitations to return.
