Visitors from Finland
01/06/14
Emma, Eija and Eija’s son Rami came to visit at the end of May. They stayed for two nights in a place nearby they found through airbnb. Then they decided to stay an extra night, so we managed to squeeze them into our maisonette and it all worked out very well.
The kids were on half-term so we borrowed an extra bike and went for a long ride (see route below) around Hackney’s green-spaces, visiting a couple of skateparks so Rami could try some UK shredding.
On Saturday we headed down to the Southbank and Rami skated at the long established Undercroft, which has been there since time began but is now sadly under threat. We signed the petition and bought some postcards from the Long Live Southbank stand to support their campaign to save it.
