One Stormy Night.. =)

It's always sunny in Finland.. Until so I thought. It started off as a blustery day until that blustery day turned into night and that's when the weather finally kicked in. The clouds grew dark and misty.. with a faint look of surprise. As each and every one of us took a passing glace through the nights sky it took them by shock. *Boom* went the clouds high above. *Boom* it struck twice..

It was my intention to wrap up warm, into a cozy but sleek dressing gown, you know, the sort you can wrap around you and feel so warm you can't bare the feeling of knowing you are safe. :)

The storm grew louder and more angry with every thought in thinking it would pass by, without a peep to call back on, until that very instant. Something happened, was it a tree collapsing I thought? Or even a house blowing down in the wreckage? I couldn't believe such a thing would take place in this small town, so, as I went downstairs to check on it I felt nothing but a shear interest to find out. Fear wouldn't be a factor to think up apon but no I simply couldn't let fear stand in my way. I casually slipped on my wellington boots, my rain coat and I went out to look. :)

There, standing right on the proceeding end of my front door was..
