My approach nowadays

I have now lived in the countryside town Savonlinna in Savo in Eastern Finland for almost ten years. Savonlinna is famous for it's opera festival each year around July inthe summer. So nowadays my approach to writing has been much influenced by Savonlinna and is somewhat like that of arts: handicrafts (of the elderly and of handicraft lovers), religion, summer cottage life, opera (all try to learn something in that direction) and painting (many people at old age) are typical factors here. I noticed this just now after having been composing pieces of melodies to the spring part of my long text about the seasons http://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2014/11/living-with-seasons.html .
