Asha and Susanna return to England

Annikki and I were very sad to see Asha, our granddaughter return to England this afternoon with her mother, daughter Susanna. We enjoyed Asha's company very much.

I enjoyed doing some of the things I had done over the years with grandson, Samuel, with Asha.

The last day was only spent at home as after packing. Susanna made sandwiches and other food to carry on the flight with them, as no food is offered on Blue1.

I managed to get a Marimekko shirt for Jaaako along with some of the things he likes from Finland - Rye Crisp bread, tar shampoo, Jordan toothbrushes, etc.

His friend, Ilari, sent a beautiful sweater for Jaakko. Susanna, however, refused to carry a packet of Indian bidis (spelt on the packet as BIRI) which Ilari wanted to send to jaakko. (A Biri is the paperless cheap Indian "cigarette" which the poor masses in India smoke.)

We went to the airport in real comfort as we used Kannan's SAAB. It really is a great car.

At the airport we got a couple of snaps.
