It has been very eventful 6 years for me here in Birmingham. I was supposed to stay here only for a year or so but one night five years ago I found my husband and the rest is history. Your home is where your heart is and this has definitely been a home for me. I shall miss this city and this house, but most of all I shall miss all the people I got to know and the great friends I've made during the years. But hey, we'll only be a short flight away and will visit Brum every so often. So I swore I won't cry.

We're leaving Birmingham in the beginning of July and drive to Finland. Mona will fly later on in July and join us. She's got her own passport, how qute! We have rented a small one bedroom flat in Tampere, some 3 hours north from Helsinki. Our dream is to build a house, one day, but that'll have to wait for a while.

So Finland here we come. Who would have guessed?! Don't forget your thermal knickers when you come to visit us!
