Shrove Sunday and Friends' Day
Today was Shrove Sunday and Valentine's Day, although what we celebrate in Finland is more of Friends' Day, Ystävänpäivä. On Shrove Sunday we usually go to Glims. The girls love racing downhill in their pulks. Glims is also a Farmstead Museum where they organize work demonstrations like sheep-shearing and other tasks that used to be commonplace.

ReplyDeleteHi Inge, we had a wonderful time! I only wish it would be possible to enjoy horse pulled sledges, but I haven't heard of anyone offering that. Have a good week! Gunilla
