I hope you believe me when I say that I am more than happy to hear that you traveled to Finland, to your brother. I remember your older posts where your longing and desire to be close to Smallsteps were evident.
I was wondering, but I thought I couldn't ask you, why you don't make this long trip to see your little niece.
For various reasons, especially health-related, I have been far from Hive lately, and I haven't read anything. Now I am on a train traveling to a city in central Romania, and I read your recent post about Finland!
It was a big surprise to understand that you reached Finland. I can hardly imagine the joy of being close to your brother's family and near Smallsteps. I realize how different Finland and Australia are. Finland is exotic even for us, southern Europeans, and I can imagine how you perceive it.
Maybe a little Australia kept in the freezer?
I saw that you were worried about your inability to understand the language.
To my knowledge, most Finns, especially young people, speak English quite well. I understand that you have found more convenient and pleasant solutions to solve the problem.
Your blog today made my day much more beautiful, I am a nostalgic person who loves gatherings of those who care for one another.
