Last December my mum's Christmas gift for myself and my sister was a little trip to Tallinn and I only got around to going through the photos a year later. Which is good in a way since I definitely haven't travelled anywhere this year but can still share some travel pictures with these. It had been well over 10 years since my last time in Estonia and now I want to go back and visit more often. Tallinn is a beautiful city with pastel houses, medieval architecture and lots to do and see.
Another absence followed by some Moomin photos - you know what to expect from me!
Here's another little Moomin post for you! I got these yellow roses at the beginning of the summer (uh, yes, partly so that I could take these photos - that's just what I'm like these days!) so they don't look like this anymore, but there's still some new buds coming in. I'd hoped the roses would bloom again for my birthday (today!) but that didn't happen and we might have to wait until early September. And do you know who else is very much into roses? The Inspector from the Moomins!
Hello. We'll see if this post leads up to more regular posting or even occasional blogging! I was going to post this on Tove Jansson's and Moomin's Day (09/08) but had issues adding photos which did make me rethink whether or not trying to get back to this is a good idea. But I do want to! So here we are, a couple of weeks later.
"Until at last he saw that it was an ordinary candle, thrust steadily upright in the snow. Around it stood a small sugar-loaf of a house, built of round snowballs. ... On the other side of the lamp someone had dug herself a cosy hole, someone who lay looking up at the serene winter sky and whistling very softly to herself."
"... the Snork Maiden frisked in and out between trees picking flowers to match whatever mood she happened to be in, and putting them behind her ears."
