Start of something blueberryish

It´s time to go international. And this is it now. I have been writing a blog called Kaikuja ja kiekuja in Finnish for one year, ever since this moving to abroad actually started to become reality instead of a dream. I will continue to do that, but since there seems to be some kind of demand from my non-Finnish friends to serve them and the rest of the world better, I´m starting this English version as well.

So welcome, may this be the beginning of something big and beautiful. As a toast for that, here is some blueberries for you. They are hand picked by me from the Finnish forest. You can almost taste the juicy flavor right?

To make the extra long story shorter, here is a little roundup about what´s up: 

So we (me, my hubby and our jack russell terrier Tiuku) used to live in Finland. By looking at the map, you may find that little piece of land from northern part of the Europe, between Sweden and Russia. Yep, that´s where we are coming from. To be more exact, we come from the capital of Finland, Helsinki. Anyway, my hubby was offered a job from Croatia in March 2016. We decided to crab for it and first he came here alone to check it out. By the late summer we had come to the point where I quit my job and put our home in Helsinki out for rent market. In last November we drove to Croatia with the little stuff we could squeeze into our car. We spent the winter on the little island called Murter and now since April our home has been here in Podstrana. Never heard of it? You may have heard about city called Split here in Croatia? Well, this is just next to Split, about 10km to the south by the cost line. 

My tittle nowadays is housewife. During summer my hubby is away quite a lot cause of his job, at the moment also. So maybe from time to time I´m also desparate. You know, from the tv-series...? Anyways, this means that our "normal life" at the moment is pretty much about me and Tiuku at home, doing this and that. Let´s see when the "normal life" is including hubby again, at least next few weeks he is still more like a visiting star in it. 

This is not going to be a diary of my everyday life. That might be boring even though I don´t feel bored but still reading about it could be a different thing. This is going to be me wondering what I come across, telling something I see worth telling for and there will be some stuff related to Finland also cause I do watch this world through blue&white Finnish eyes (those are the colors of our flag, my eyes are really just blue). I suppose most times I will write my Finnish blog and then more or less translate it here. But there maybe occasions when the original text is going to be here and then perhaps translated to Finnish page. Let´s wait and see. 

Feel free to comment, ask questions, maybe put a smiling emoji. Or just read and enjoy the ride. 

There will be pictures here, more in Instagram @kaikukieku so check that out too and push the Follow-button.

Until next time then. Bye or bok as we say here in Croatia.
