Day Twenty-Four

Today was my first ever experience of the Finnish 'rotina' tradition where visitors coming to meet baby for the first time bring 'pulla' and/or goodies with them so the new mother doesn't have to bake in order to cater for guests.

For those not in the know, 'pulla' is a Finnish sweet bread flavoured with cardamon.

My first daughter spent a large amount of time in the hospital after she was born and meant we couldn't have visitors until she was nearly two months old so we didn't get to experience it first time round.

But a lovely friend popped round today to meet Rosie and brought the delicious cake pictured! Yum-my!
