The weather in Finland has been just beautuful since I came back. Powder snow & sunshine.

The boys love it too, of course.

Tomorrow we will go to the X-ray (hip & elbows) + check patella’s. The result will be official and recorded to the boys. Keep your fingers crossed that they are as heathy as possible!

I had an additional riding lesson on Thursday and I had my boys with me since I knew they needed to work in the stable.

On Wednesday during my weekly riding lesson some very young girls tried to transport hay pales from the barn to the stable using sledge. It was too heavy for them.

So on Thursday the boys were wore harnesses. They both transported 3 hay pales eg 6 in total. It was a new experience for them and we were having so much fun!

This photo is taken in a dark barn using mobile phone. The boys were also wearing reflector vests (they got them from Santa).

Today we walked around the old wall.  The boys love this walk.  When they are ontop of the wall they can see everything that is going on. The snow is only just starting to melt & we may get more tomorrow.

I took the pictures with my mobile so they are not briliant.

Flatcoats love the snow.  Baxter even went for a swim in a river.

It was almost -20C (-4F) this morning when I waked up. Colder than -19 but not quite -20.

Eddie stayed out a bit too long this morning (”having a pee”) so I went to look for him. He was found easily & soon. Apparently having fun just like a flatcoat.

Afterwards we walked on the ice a bit. There is a pond in my piece of land and it is of course frozen now.

You can see my house in the background in one of the photos.

I will tell you later more about why I was a bit worried about Eddie staying out for too long.

After a long day playing in the snow it is time to take it easy and relax.
