We are a newly retired couple from Lahti, Finland, with a long career behind us as translators and translation company owners. Our interests include gardening and outdoors, long walks, cycling, skiing, reading, and visiting art exhibitions and museums. We have a second home in Helsinki, and are particularly interested in visiting London frequently, as we have grandchildren living there.
