Expedition Särestöniemi

At our first walk we did a little short cut. But this time we tried to walk exactly the same path as Reidar used to walk by the river side. Beautiful sites were still there though the forest was higher than 30 years ago. It was about - 20 degrees celsius but in the forest it didn't feel that cold. And I had my warmest jacket on and about three layers underneath.

It took us about three hours to get to the Särestöniemi-museum area. We had hot drinks and freshly baked buns at the museum coffee shop. Mummi came to pick us up with car and drove us back home. Great expedition!

Making of Nutukkaat, Part 3

Just before the work shop started we boiled bark water for three hours. After coming back home we covered the reindeer skins with that water. We need to turn around those for few times during week. Work shop continues next weekend!

Mummola Travels is (a project and) a journey towards rediscovering our roots.

We found ourselves in a fortunate situation being able to take a year off from our regular lives, so we rented out our home in Helsinki, packed our bags and moved 1000 km up north to my husband’s childhood home in Kaukonen. We are happy to have four generations living together in the same farmstead.

Mummola is the place where you can follow our everyday life and holiday celebrations through out the four seasons that Lapland offers.

Join us on our journey and see where it will lead us!
