Reet canny ...

I am in Newcastle for the weekend, celebrating Martin's fiftieth birthday. Getting here was fun, up at 3am UK time to drive to Vantaa airport for the first flight to Copenhagen, a two hour layover and then another flight to Newcastle. I've just arrived at the Snowy Owl in Cramlington, the inn where we are staying, and am contemplating the idea of a pint and a nap.
It is definitely autumnal in Helsinki now, the temperature went down to 2.5 degrees celsius on the drive to the airport, with a beautiful low mist hugging the trees alongside the road.
I'm also smiling at the thought of coming to Newcastle and feeling warm, as usually this is the frozen north!
