CHRISTMAS AT QWENSEL HOUSE
















The last time I visited 
 it was a lovely summer's day.
I returned just over a week ago
on a dark, end-of-November afternoon,
when all was set for Christmas.
For me,
it was a moment to breathe a little
before a client shoot early the next day,
and a sure way to get into the spirit of Christmas.

TURKU WEEKEND


































































We spent a weekend in Turku,
where despite the chilly late autumn weather,
it was quite easy to lose oneself
in the atmosphere.  
was my main aim,
but we also enjoyed the Aboa Vetus museum,
food halls, cafés 
(it's the little things that make a wanderer happy,
like how at Café Art
they gave each of us a hot chocolate
with a different floating pattern :)) 
and fish market
that sprawled on either side of the river.
Newlyweds dripping with joy
stepped out from the Cathedral.
The tiny Välikatu "in between" street
had clearly done a runner from Stockholm's Gamla Stan,
and somewhere along the riverbank 
I imagined myself in Amsterdam. 
As dusk descended,
the cafés and restaurants 
were bustling with people & chatter. 





Lokakuun viimasta huolimatta
oli Turusta helppo raaputtaa tunnelmaa. 
Päätärppinä minulla Helene Schjerfbeck taidemuseossa,
mutta viihdyttiin myös Aboa Vetuksessa,
kauppahallissa, kahviloissa
(ne on ne pienet ylimääräiset eleet,
jotka ilahduttavat vaeltajan mieltä,
kuten se, kun Café Artissa
sai jokainen meistä kaakaonsa eri kuviolla :)),
joen molemmin puolin levittäytyneillä silakkamarkkinoilla.
Tuomiokirkosta asteli iloa säteilevä pari.
Pikkuinen Välikatu
kuin karannut Tukholman Gamla stanista,
jossain kohtaa joenvartta kuvittelin 
häivähdyksen Amsterdamia.  
Pimenevässä syysillassa kuppilat
täynnä ihmisiä ja puheensorinaa.

LOTIONS & POTIONS













































I couldn't visit Turku
without taking a look around 
along the riverside. 
The town was bustling outside,
while I silently roamed around
breathing in the atmosphere of years gone by. 


Turun vierailulla 
tärppilistan kärkipäässä. 
Ikkunoiden alla ihmisvilinä markkinahumussa,
sisällä hiljaisuus ja menneen ajan havina.

GETAWAY






















































We went to the Riviera.

(Well, Turku in fact, 
a couple of hundred kilometres away.)






Kävimme Rivieralla.

(Tai no, siis Turussa.)
