Lapland - Finland - 14th Dec 2006 10:12pm
Its that time of year again when i get a calling
from Mr 'C' that's Santa Claus to you and me..
Started my journey on Tuesday From Manchester.
The Gits ?
Got told to take me shoes off and put them through
the x-ray machine lol... I wasnt the only one.
Boy i wish this was my plane?
As mine was an hour late
As i legged it to the gate when i seen these and had to
stop a take a quick picture.
Massarge Chairs, at £2 a go, but i guess you can just
sit in them for a while in comfort too lol...
At last took off with 15mins to run between aircraft
at Helsinki (Finland) just time to spot some crazy socks
in the que as you do lol....
Eventually landed in lapland and then an 2hr drive in to
nowhere... Luggage as per usual still in Helsinki
but it arrived the very next day (Phew)..
So this is my view at the breakfast table
About 40cm of snow and today - 16c
I decided to go for a little walk after i had been
clearing the snow on the drive,
This is about 12 noon,
looking over the lake and we cant see the sun,
only its reflection in the sky, it wont go
high enough until mid january 2007.
So no direct sunlight for me
So off to the snow castle i go to help out
the english tourists.
And as requested by katie "Can you take a picture
of a Raindeer?"
Here we go hun
Not sure of his name yet as i was in a hurry to get back
to work, as i was being interviewed by the local paper
"An English man in Lapland" lol....
God only knows what it will turn out like.
Pictures arnt the best as there off my phone camera
and its an old phone.
But the glowing bits you see are flames from the candles.
I took some inside pics and they were too dark,
along with the video footage too.
But i took some other video's earlier in the day.
have a peek if you so wish...
