Our week in Iceland is over and we are now in Helsinki, our last stop before heading home to Brisbane. Summer has arrived and Helsinki is stunning. There are flowers everywhere.
The Helsinki cathedral looks spectacular with its blue backdrop.
The Russian church is surrounded by lilacs.
The Sea Pool is open and attracting crowds.
There is music in the street.
Esplanadi park is looking wonderful and Helsinki residents are enjoying the sunshine.
I have lots more to share on our time in Italy, Greece and fabulous Iceland. There will be more posts over the next couple of months while I am back home, planning my next visit in September. I will be back at Casa Debbio in autumn to get the garden ready for the winter.
The flowers are gorgeous, it will be nice to be back home in OZ though 🙂

My plans one day will be to do the same. Stay in Italy for 3-4 months and then return home to Australia for the rest of the year, hopefully 🙂

After the long winter, the flowers wake up. It looks beautiful. We look forward to seeing all the other photos. Enjoy the rest of your trip and have a safe journey back home.

Very striking, colourful flowers especially the purples, pinks and reds. Helsinki looks beautiful with the bright blue ski and lunch green grass.

What a fabulous way to break the journey…I love the flowers in Europe and that most people grow something even if it is simply a pot of petunias!! See you soon… Jxx

I imagine everyone who lives in such cold climates would love the summer months and enjoy the lovely sunshine that brings such beauty to their gardens.
