GM ☀️ We've had our first dusting of snow this morning ❄️

We finally have some sunshine and the indoor jungle is looking radiant ☀️🪴✨️ But it's also freezing outside 🥶

GM 🌧 POV: you go on a mental health walk in Finland in November The weather has been like this for a few weeks now I guess that's why November is called the "death month" in the Finnish language 💀

More learning and experimenting. It has elements that I like but I feel betrayed by the way the paint dried 😂 At least my husband said he loved it and instantly recognised the scene as the view over the Tornio river between Finland and Sweden from Aavasaksa, a place we visited together

Today is Father's Day in Finland, so I made my husband a hand-painted card. He is an amazing dad and the strong protector of our family 🇫🇮💙

GM ☕️ Outside might be grey and brown now, but my cactus is in bloom

A few singing and fiddling photos have reached me from Oulu in September. That was a wonderful time. It's been quiet on the gig front since then. Next one coming up in a month 🎶

GM I wished for more family time, because my husband has been working so much recently. Now we are all sick at the same time. Treasuring these precious moments together 😂💕

Happy 5th November Bonfire Night is one English tradition I really miss. It's the ultimate cosy occasion 🧣🎆🔥 Sadly, I can't even recreate it here in Finland because private firework use is heavily restricted and I don't even think they're sold at this time of year 👎

Tonight I watched my son (3yo) performing in the autumn concert of the music school. Last time, in the spring, I still had to go up to perform with him but this time he wanted to go by himself. And I couldn't be more proud because while all the other kids sat nicely, he decided to stand and leap into the air and make a real performance of it. Everyone commented on how fantastic he was. I knew he was a bit of a showman and nonconformist, but he surprised even me today. My little rockstar 🤘🌟
