Winters used to be cold, but in these times of global climate change you never know: winter can be anything from +5 celcius raining water to -30 celcius with waist deep of snow... I admit I liked the winters of my childhood - snow and coldness is easier to deal with than damp darkness of no-snow winters.

Yup, I guess browsing my blog can easily create an optical illusion - it might seem like my days are full of roaming free in the woods, riding, fishing, foraging and woodworking. Oh well, if I post about that kind of things once in ten days, it usually means that the other nine days have been like "I had my morning coffee, fed the animals, went to work, came back late in the evening, fed the animals, checked social media and went to sleep". Always posting that would make a repetitive and boring blog, so I mostly post about this "downshifting stuff" =)

Also, all the regulations are getting tighter and tighter here in Finland, too. But luckily enough in our sparsely populated countryside we can do a lot of small things in unofficial way. If it is question of just a few fallen trees, I can arrange it with my neighbour and no-one else knows.

And, I think it is OK to be weird and crazy. And sometimes it helps a lot =)
