We love travelling and as a result we love other countries' National Days. Canada of course has Canada Day (or in fact a whole weekend!) and Canadian Thanksgiving, as well as a national day that has different names in every province (confusing).
But today we celebrate Finnish Independence Day. It's now 101 years since the plucky Finns withdrew from Russian rule in 1917.
As usual, Sarah and I attended the Finnish Christmas Fair in London last month, though sadly got there too late to see the Moomin. We still spent FAR too much money on Fazer chocolates and Fazer jellies and Fazer ... well, you get the idea!
