there are not many things i'm gonna miss about this flat. the spring sun in the kitchen is one though. not a heavy loss, there will be new suns. high ceilings of course. but that's it. i'm so negative about this house, it's never-ending renovations all around - which are reaching this corridor 2 days after we're out of here.
but this area in general, it is definitely wonderful. if you had money to buy and make big flat. (but still, i think a kid should have a forest.) (a grown-up, not necessarily!) the upper photo is one of my favorite views, but i don't think it has the same feeling in a photo. in real life you can see beyond cars, but in a photo they are there. our street begins from the tower. straight ahead there's a staircase down, and a little restaurant we have never been to so far. i made a reservation for next week. then to the left from there are the icebreakers. i miss them already. in the winter, usually, it is the strangest effect when they leave to do their job on the Baltic sea. it feels like entire buildings are suddenly missing. this year they've stayed there. another missed winter experience: walking on the ice. the sea never froze.
we were walking home from kerho last week. this fence too, i'm very attached to it.
last week on a sleeting grey day i saw this: a guy having a coffee, sitting outside the kiosk on the corner of our street. from a big mug. in a terrible weather. i don't know how to describe him, but he had a soulful face. and good style. and this whole scene looked like New York. i wanted to stay and watch. last impressions of my neighborhood.

So beautiful post - I recognize how I felt myself leaving aparment and big city, which has a charm of its own for sure. I think i will always miss those moments of city life, but seeing small feet running around in the green is better, at least for now!
good luck with the big move!
hanna, wonderful post!! I recognize myself in it, when you talk about the apartment, the never ending repairing, the high ceilings...
However, I'm stunned by the images you suggested: of the icebreakers, of living in the forest (wow), of walking on ice, etc. This eminds me of how apart our countries are, but still we have similar feelings about a proper house, about raising children.
so...i write...have to go and look at the greenlayerfence...on a brighter day...your cushions let us spend funny moments...that is why they fly to saks, really...........>>>>>>>>>>
Last friday i took a picture of Liisu in front of a very similar greenish grey fence!
Hope you will have a nice evening in the restaurant.
it is nice to be recognisable!
i still can't imagine how it will actually be like, to be there all the time from next week on.
we won't be living in a forest, but there's a forest behind us, and half of the yard is forest state.
it is a scenery of fields.
i wanted to say also that i'm not moving there only because i got this kid - i think what grown-ups do need is Garden!
Just found you blog -- I think through What's Blogging My View. I just want to say how much I identify with this post, especially "a kid should have a forest."
Manteli looks wonderful!
wonderful picture, your daughter and the fence. gives an idea of the world from the child's perspective; how small they are...
found your blog- am enjoying it very much. wish you great success in your move and much happiness in your new home.
