I've just come back from visiting a friend who lives in the beautiful forested countryside of Finland. They're living in an old traditional Finnish country house which they're gradually renovating. She showed me this old wooden barn which is on part of their land. The wood has aged to a beautiful silvery grey and is nestled inconspiciously amongst the birch trees.
The door opens with the most enormous old key - to reveal inside a treasure trove of bits and pieces they've collected together from other out buildings on the property.
This old sleigh apparently is in good condition and is on their list of projects to restore for winter sleigh rides!
ah! so beautiful! so beautiful.
