Once again, I’ve been silent
longer than I expected but I have a great excuse. We are having the kitchen
completely redone. For several weeks now, we’ve been busy making all kinds of
decisions and taking care of many a small issue not to mention that the kitchen
was stripped to the bones already in mid-September.
What’s more, now that the removal
and refurbishing project is nearing its end we finally terminated the travel ban
hubby issued almost two years ago. While waiting for the paint on the hardwood flooring of the new kitchen to dry and harden we flew – unsurprisingly – to Italy.
Posts on this most memorable trip
will hopefully follow soon but now I am showing you our neighbourhood. This is
where we returned to last weekend. Even after Lombardia and Piemonte, not bad. The colourful riverfront is looking
brilliant. On a sunny day like this, it is impossible not to love autumn that is visible everywhere.
The little Vähätori square feels
empty. The restaurants and cafés have carried their outdoor tables and chairs away
for the winter. For the next few months, the Main Library will be dominating
the scene that is bristling with life during the summer season. The only bustle to be found will be inside the stately building.
Escaping to Italy can't be bad, I love Italy.
ReplyDeleteYour local autumnal colours are gorgeous especially reflected in the river along with the blue skies.
Aren't they! We've had a mild autumn with not much rain so far and are hoping it will stay that way.
DeleteI know how much your love Italy and have missed spending time here this year. It does look so beautiful in the Autumn. Can't wait to see some more pictures! Sarah x
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to return to such views. In fact, we were a bit surprised how little difference the was in the progress of autumn between northern Italy and our new home on the southwestern coast of Finland which is the mildest region in our country.
DeleteI hope that you enjoy your new kitchen as much as you did your time in Italy! Beautiful pictures!! xx
ReplyDeleteIt is starting to look very good in the kitchen, too. Just wait and see.
