Annikki's sister, Anneli, is here with us in Oulu for a short holiday of a few days. As she was cycling back from the city yesterday, she saw a very unusual building site, right near the city centre, which is about 2 kilometres from the sea.
The top layer of the building site had been removed. Just less than a metre below the top surface was absolutely pristine sea sand. 
Annikki, while digging to put in foundations for some of her creations, has noted this in the Kampitie garden, but it has been usually a little deeper. We have used some of this sand.
To see a whole building site covered with this beautiful fine sand, so fine that even a light wind had created a wavy seashore design, to all of us, seemed most unusual!
In the meantime, I completed the construction and painting of the wooden frame the porch over the front entrance.(The above pictures are before the porch cover was painted.)
Only a roof has to be installed and I am debating a lot of possibilities. Remember, this has been created out of waste wood - and this time it was a throw-away from the neighbour and from Joanna's garden!
Even though I say it myself, I rather like the construction, which was put up with just a little bit of help from Annikki!
Recycling is our MOTTO!
