Thank you (from us here in Espoo, Finland) for the letter and acknowledging we volunteers. Parkrun may not be as big in Finland as elsewhere but our community spirit is there and shines through!

Just for the record - I don’t read books in the sauna and I don’t think Finns do as the BBC pic in this article shows. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hi UK folk: do you still use hot water bottles? Today’s Finnish broadsheet has an article about how Brits are still using hot water bottles due to high heating costs. And you should replace your hwb every 2 years. Preferably use one bought after 2022 and don’t use boiling water.

Finnish Christmas dinner includes baked mashed vegetable casseroles which Finns often prepare in advance and freeze. Facebook translation Finnish-English doesn’t always work well. (Not my own FB post). 🍜
