Me and Sakari are currently enjoying a stay at our grandparent's house. This time with no mosquitos. There is a few cm of snow on the ground but not enough to ski or anything fun like that. Our grandmother is very enthusiastic about cooking, so we will propably put on a few kg during our stay :). We will return after the holiday so the next time we see you people will propably be on the first weekand after the holiday has ended.
Have a great holiday everyone!

Pyry's sailing trip part one
I am currently sailing with my parents and I am really bored. All I can do here is to listen to my mp3 and read books. I left my minis in the attic. I think it is good for me to take a short painting break.
Yesterday we were at our club's island Pentala and now we are going to a place called Elisaari. That is quite a big place. I have been there many times before. At least there is a small shop in the island where I can buy ice cream.
I wrote this whole thing because my dad has quite new cellphone and it has proper a keyboard and net connection and I had to try it out. I have already played ogame with that XD

Trip to Kantola
Yesterday we went to a cottage called Kantola, where my grandma was born, with our grandparents. The trip to the area was about 15 - 25 minutes and it was surrounded by farmyards.
First we stopped at a farmyard and walked through a path made by a tractor that led to a forrest owned by our mother. I got out of the car and I found myself knee deep in... grass. I made my way to the boot where my grandfather handed me a pair of oversized wellington boots, which were rather uncomfortable to walk in. As we got to one of the edges of the forrest, we jumped over a ditch to get in to the actual forrest. There were lots of other ditches, but we made our way into the opposite end. My grandfather kept cutting down the small branches to make a path for us. We inspected some trees and got back into the car. I was happy to get rid of the boots!
The next and last stop was Kantola itself. No one ever really goes there, and last summer it was completely unused. This meant that the road there, was also never used last summer, and it was flooded with grass. It felt nice driving through all of it. At Kantola, I looked in the atic and it was quite delapitated. Planks all over the floor, old rusty tools that were propably used in the 1950s, lots of bee hives and last but not least, dust! The last place I want to be in. I went downstairs and checked the living room, the furniture was still in good condition. I saw my grandfather and Sakari making a fire in a brick surrounded area (so the fire wouldn't get out of hand) and I decided to join them. I walked through lots of wild grass to get to the fireplace and I sat down on the chair next to it. We all ate sausages, and have you noticed that every camper eats sausages at a fire? After eating, I got to put out the fire. Splash. Water. The fire then started steaming for a while. Then we got into the car, and drove back to our grandparent's house.
