The Vuolle family is back

Hannu, my trusty colleague of more than three years, left the sunny Cote d’Azur for the somewhat less sunny Tampere, a few months ago. Apparently, the return to the homeland has not been easy for him and his family. The fact that the Finnish winter was the coldest one for a looong time probably didn’t help (going from +15 degrees with glorious sunshine, to -20 and near-constant darkness must indeed be rather tough…).

So, anyway, obviously they miss France, since they decided to come and spend four weeks of their holidays here. Naturally, that called for a reunion with the other Finns on the Cote d’Azur. Mikko and Marianne decided to join as well, but unfortunately Pete and Anne were unable to come along this time.

We booked one of the more popular restaurants, Le Safari, in Cours Salyea, for the occasion. Great to catch up with everybody again, it’s really been quite a while. The youngest dinner guests, Sara and Daniel were energetic, as always… (and just wouldn’t believe me when I told them I’m really not ticklish…).

We finished off a very pleasant evening in traditional fashion – with a pint in Ma Nolan’s.
