Greengs from the Paradise of Eden! We had a wonderful weekend just three adults (the grand parents came and looked after the kids! Thank you very much for them) We travelled to the South Australians famous wine paradise: The Barrossa Valley. What a beautiful and sunny place!
There were thousands and thousands of wine trees growing everywhere and so many vineyards. We just stopped in some of them and had wine tastings (me, for the first time of my live, now I know how to roll the glass and put your nose into the wine glass to have a good smell...). These wines are famous everywhere around the world and surely some of them are also imported to Finland, like Jacob's Creek. I'll check it after coming back. We also visited well-known famous cook Maggie Beer pheasnat farm and a shop. Lovely tastings of all kind of small food and sauces and jams - yammy yammy!
And went to Farmers market to buy bits and pieces and all kind of juicy and cheap fruits for example five kilos apples was 5-6 dollars (4 euroa!) And how juicy all the fruits are. You should see the supermarkets and their juicies: orange juices,pure, are sold in 3 liter bottles and they are so good.
So here we are just heading to autumn, yes autumn, and yesterday we moved our clocks backwards to the winter time. (Not forwards as you did a week ago.) Autumn here is just like the best summer days in Finland. Today was just sun shine for the whole day and +28. So, hopefully these weathers are arriving to Finland soon to get rid of the snow and too long winter...

Do you know what is the difference between turtle and tortoise? I know, now, thanks Alan. |

.. and german sausages. The first wine palnts were originally brought
from Germany in 200 years ago. So there are German names in some streets and towns. |
