The Joy of a Sunbath...Before London!

We are heading to London for Christmas and would you believe that after 16 days of NO sunshine the sun came out as we were waiting for our flight in the Tampere airport? Life is funny that way. We were sitting in two seats that were perfectly located in direct line of the sunshine. Ahhhhhh, now we understand why you sometimes see Finns sunning themselves (standing peacefully outside with their heads tilted upwards towards the sunshine with their eyes closed) in a sun bath of vitamin D goodness! Off to London...

Thank you, sun! Hopefully you will have lots of sun in London. It is very cold this AM, but the sun is shining brightly. This weekend it is to reach low 50s. Side streets will be icy and bumpy as it begins to melt. We had 10+ inches of the white stuff. Quite beautiful!!!!!
