Day 14: Last full day here!

Leaving here, after 14 wonderful days!

As in previous days we were lazy and late up for breakfast this morning by my standards, and by the time we were ready to do much, the dreaded rain was here! This was despite a forecast that wasn't mentioning any rain at all, and it was some rain with the heavens opening for around half an hour. Anna and I had actually been up the road picking blueberries before that, and we got a good haul - there appear to be many more than in previous years.

 Plentiful blueberries all around!

Another downpour!

Anyway, once the rain stopped, we had a re-think. Olivia and Sandy wanted to jump from the diving boards in the nearby lake, so we drove along there (only about 5 minutes away) and after some diving, we had coffees and cakes in the cafe at the other side of the main road there.

Olivia leaping in like a bullet.

Back here, I decided to light the sauna for the last time, and it was great at that point to see the sun appearing and the temperature rising quickly once again. So, we had yet another lovely late afternoon and evening here at the house. I barbequed some chicken on the wood-fired barbeque by the lake and we swam and enjoyed the light here which is always so special when it's sunny.

 Anna heads for another swim!

 Last night by the sauna!

Lovely sunlight once again!

This evening, as well as watching how Edinburgh were doing in their speedway match at Scunthorpe with Keith, Anna and I spent some time tidying things generally around the house and the garden. Cleaning the sauna and the hot-tub, as well as the BBQ takes time but it means we won't have so much to do in the morning before we leave.

 Brothers!

Looking from the roadside to this fantastic place!

So, it's the end of another two weeks here! We thank Timo and Lissu again for renting the house to us - it's truly a magical place to stay, even if the weather has been less good this year than most previous times. I note that the forecast for next week looks great though!! Perhaps we could make our visit next year one week later than normal? ;-)

And finally, Keith has gone to bed extremely happy, as Edinburgh snatched a last-race win in their match at Scunthorpe!

Kiitos - see you Rasin Villa in 2017!!
