Although the garden outside is closed off, for replanting presumably.

She's quite the photographer. That's my favorite place in Helsinki.

That's why she has the camera and I don't.

The other thing about the Winter Garden's is they have table and chairs inside and I've seen a lot of people who sit down and read a book in the peace and quiet, looks a nice way to wind down.

Have you taken her round the University Botanical Gardens in Kaisaniemi too? They also have greenhouses. I once took a junior football team around the gardens in between two matches. Outdoors is lovely too, but it's a bit early for the fancy stuff.

I rearranged the chairs, shoved the tables out of the way, dragged in a string quartet and got married there.

Well we all have our different ways of winding down

, maybe darling daughter will get married there and after I''ve fulfilled my duties she will shove me in the cacti room along with the rest of my old, dry and prickly relatives.

Yes we've been round there thanks, darling daughter couldn't find any trees to climb

, but thanks for reminding me, we will have a walk round there after circus school next weekend.

Well one of us is a bit of a clown and the other does acrobatics, I'll leave it for you to decide who is doing what.
