Leena and Jukka begun swimming in winter. Leena's friend Pirkko, in the picture right, showed us how to go to swim into Kuusijarvi lake. The lake is covered by ice and the water temperature is zero centigrade. They keep a hole in the ice for swimming. WINTER SWIMMING IS COOL !
Anna Oskerby, Leena's cousin living in England, enjoyed winter swimming, too.
We celebrated the shortest day, winter solstice with open fire and many candles in our backyard. Tomi, Leevi, Anna and Lotta cooking sausages.
