Time for a Thursday's Postcard Hunt and as summer time comes to an end on Sunday we know that winter approaches. At Christmas and New Year people around the UK will be running into the sea to celebrate the season with a swim.
In Finland they take it much more seriously and fully embrace the winter, break the ice and take to the water throughout the season. It is popular to take a sauna and then a dip. I do like the ladder that leads one in and can imagine tentatively taking it one step at a time and once immersed
it would be good to have a friend to bring a hot drink. I say winter but Eeva wrote on the back of this Inge Löök card "This is how it was in May" 2017 in Finland

The winter (or May!) outdoors sauna is a experience I would like to try at lest once. The Old Ladies always make me smile :)
Great postcards, but the Inge Look one is awesome!
i have experienced a sauna (and hot tub) in winter and it is no wonder the Finns enjoy it so much!
