Oiskohan se tännään se paremman sään aika lähteä Taavettiin linnoituskierrokselle? Ainakaan ei ole samanlainen paahde kuin viime torstaina 🙂 . Tänään siis klo 15 toiseksi viimeinen mahdollisuus tänä kesänä ilmaiselle opastuskierrokselle Taavetin linnoituksessa. Ensi viikon torstaina on sitten se viimeinen. Tervetulloo! 🙂
Tällä viikolla on jo riittänyt vilskettä ja vilinää Kesäkahvila Kaikussa! 🙂 Kiitos kaikille vierailijoille. <3 Tällä viikolla kahvila on avoinna ti-pe klo 11-18. Lauantaina kahvilalla on yksityistilaisuus, joten silloin ovet ovat muilta kiinni, mutta sunnuntaina sitten taas tavataan klo 12-17 kahvila Kaikussa 🙂 Muuten, nyt kannattaa pitää silmällä meidän sivuja: meillä on tulossa uusia tuulia myös kahvilan suhteen tämän kesän jälkeen ja kunhan suunnitelmat ovat selvillä tarkemmin, infoamme, miten kahvila Kaiku jatkossa toimiikaan! Ollaan muutekseen itse aika innoissamme! 🙂
Tänään taas iltapäivällä Luumäellä Taavetin linnoituskierros klo 15 alkaen! Jos helle ei hirvitä, tulkaapa paikalle 🙂 Juomapullot on hyvä olla mukana. Kierros kestää noin tunnin ja ihan joka hetki ei varjoon päästä. 🙂 Linnoituksen osoite on siis: Linnalantie 33, Taavetti. Kierros alkaa ns. punaiselta tuvalta kunnantalon vierestä ja on ilmainen. Nähdään! 🙂
In these hot evenings it's great to have a possibility to swim in some of the "thousand lakes".😊

Having a little nature excursion nearby.😊 Interesting places, for example, in the so called cave were some Finns hiding in the past.... Not a very pleasant hiding place, I think.🤔 We find also a quite big and old spruce. I wonder what all has the tree seen....

The first ones of this year!! Traditionally on Saturday before the Whitsunday (helluntai) was the time, when we Finns made the first "vasta", a bunch of birch branches. So, this is the time and we made those too. When (soon) the sauna has warmed up enough, we'll have these two with us and "vastoa". You know what, the feeling afterwards is so relaxed! Peace of mind!

Just after a thunderstorm having a little hike nearby! The nature is amazing! All the smells and sounds! I just love living in Finland, in the middle of nowhere, and having this opportunity to go to the woods whenever I like!

Oh, these calming lakes in Finland, in the middle of nowhere! Just listen! Only the birds! Can you imagine to be here, having a peaceful moment, maybe a hammock or some fishing equipments or both with you? Some little snacks, maybe coffee.... Just sitting and resting in wilderness. Well, with us you can also have this experience.😊

Our forefathers used to think the ants nests was the castles of gnomes... I wonder, if this nest was watching us while we were having a May day picnic...🤔😊
