NordenBladet – On Saturday morning we packed things with Hanna-Liisa to be loaded on the car to be taken from Tallinn to Tartu, then I quickly watered the entire garden (there is still this heat wave), we drove to the town so that Allan’s mother could feed her cat and then the four of us headed towards Tartu. We thought we’d take Hanna-Liisa to Tartu and then the three of us would continue on towards Viljandi, but on the way the plan changed.
We made a stop at Imavere at Tikupoiss, had hearty meals (gosh how good their BBQ and the poppy seed buns are!) and then we decided that we will all go to Vorbuse to visit my elder sister Marie and her husband Raido. We did as we intended. We took the stuff to Hanna-Liisa’s place, quickly went to the shop and then drove to the bank of Emajõgi to celebrate another Midsummer – once more we barbecued, Raido sang karaoke and we enjoyed the outdoor tub. The music was so loud all night long that I felt sorry for the neighbours and for my own ears.. iccccc. I always look forward to visiting my older sister and while I’m there I look forward to having some peace and quiet 😀 They are always so full of energy and so tiring and then there’s always that loud music… After having visited them I always feel like a senior loner that wishes to hide somewhere alone. On the other hand, nobody else is as much fun as they are! They are the most joyful, energetic and hospitable people that I know!
In the morning after breakfast we drove to Saadjärve for a second and further down to Räpina where Allan’s brother has bought a large plot near the river and where he will be building a house. On the road in several places people sold strawberries that had been picked straight from the Estonian fields.. Gosh, how big, sweet and good, and with half the price as compared to Tallinn. In Räpina we admired the plot, chatted for an hour, and then Allan’s mother stayed with Allan’s brother and me and Allan drove to Viljandi. When we got to Viljandi we were already so tired that we didn’t have the energy to go anywhere. We visited our favourite pizzeria and drove back home.
Midsummer and the long weekend has passed once more. The children are back home and it is time to tune myself to the working frequencies.
