Day 11, Friday 15th July (Tampere, Jyvaskyla, Juva, Savonlinna) Moose count = not a damn one, no moose here, why do you ask? This was another travelling day.

Music 2013 – Music in My Head!
Thank you, BBC Radio 4 for leaving me humming (badly, out-of-tune) the wonderfully evocative “When an Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease” by Roy Harper.

Music 2005 – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Alexandra Palace, London
