Spring and the Smell of Fresh Pastry

Sunny day at last and very very cold. I can already see the spring coming, it is in the certain way sun shines on the snow that you can feel it is spring soon. And spring has a smell, it is very sharp and energetic. Spring also smells a bit like tulips and fresh bakery for me.

I love fresh flowers at home and my favourites are always white. But these tulips I got yesterday are a very pretty mixture of red and white.

We went for a long walk and it was a good workout for my legs as Töölö is full of snow and maybe because of the predictable outcome of presidential elections noone cleans snow in Helsinki anymore. Well, challenge taken! On the way back we dropped at Cafe Gottland and bought freshly baked sesam buns and carrot bread. All organic. Smells divine.

There was another fresh pastry in the home oven, very good level of readiness.
