Gré & Hilkka, thanks!

Emma, what's "pun"?

A pun is a play on words. Speaking about the old houses of Porvoo, it is funny to write "I WOOD love to live there". Although I guess it was not deliberate.

Emma, thanks for explaining the word to me. I actually hadn't noticed the (unintended?) misspelling in Gré's comment.

Every day I learne new stuff. My English is not perfect, I know. Sometimes I just write as I speak. Don't look in the dictionary and then this will happen. Wood is wood from the trees, I had to write "would". Thanks to Emma and now I know what pun means. But the wooden houses are beautiful and so is the picture.

That looks like the town where they filmed the Michael Caine movie, BILLION DOLLAR BRAIN.

Jut got back from holiday, and now checking all the pictures I have missed. Porvoo I have seen doesn't look this good :)
