...if you're lucky there'll be some left over for boxing day. Altogether now, "On the first day of christmas my girlfriend gave to me a small can of processed Elk meat."
Eli went to the Finnish Church yesterday with her Finnish friend Maria. It must be the only Church in the country with a sauna (click English at the top and then click Services in the menu.) In this menu you'll also find a link to their Christmas Bazaar, which is where Eli had been.
She came back with Pickled Herring, Pilchards, Cheese and of course Elk Meat. Christmas really has come early in the Baylis-Beaumont household.
But seriously, what a great thing - why do only Finnish people know about this? Forget the implications about why are expat communities stronger than native communities? Or what the Church of England can learn from this? I just want a go in the Sauna.
Surely, there must be loads of places like this all over London that we are missing out on - does the Polish church in Kings Cross have a Vodka Bar in the basement we don't know about? Multi-culturalism has a lot to offer, let's all get out there this Christmas and mix it up - get your presents from your local community and give the West End a miss.
