It's cold outside!

Northern Europe has been suffering a cold snap, with the UK brought to a standstill by a few inches of snow and a bit of cold weather.

So that you can follow what's happening in Elk's Street, follow the link below to the Lappeenranta Airport website, where you can get up-to-date weather data.

Lappeenranta Airport

Finland is a bit of a funny place for weather; there is a temperature difference of nearly 50 degrees celsius between when Henry was born, -22 degrees celsius, and when Thomas was born, +24 degrees celsius.

And on the day Henry was born, the local hockey team SaiPa were playing Lukko. And on the day Thomas was born I had an ice-cream from the kiosk in the centre of town. It's funny how you can remember these details.

(And for those wondering what has happened to the blog, work is nightmarish at the moment, so I've little time. But maybe there'll be some more photos soon.)
