Fathers' Day

Sunday was Fathers' Day. The Chairman was in Helsinki to watch a modern dance performance so only the boys were at home. Woken at 7.15 a.m., I was instructed not to move from the bed. Two little chaps went downstairs and there were sounds of damage and destruction, interspersed with giggling. Then, true to Finnish tradition, they arrived with a tray with a cup of freshly-made coffee, Fathers' Day presents made at school, and Fathers' Day cards, see the picture below.


The dog card was by Henry, the green card by Thomas. Note also the neat arrangement on the plate - brown crystal sugar, a Marianne sweet, and a Fazer truffle which had been carefully hoarded since Christmas.

And before you ask, it is indeed an Everton F.C. mug.

Happy Fathers' Day to all!
