I love viewing old photographs of Tallinn. In them I catch a glimpse of a bygone era that was once familar to my grandparents and their parents. One of the great things about Tallinn is that many of these lovely old buildings still exist today and I can experience visiting them for myself.
Ilus Eesti, beautiful Estonia. My family's homeland. Estonia's countryside and people have an endearing gentleness about them which you fall in love with slowly and imperceptibly. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Estonians' courage and determination to survive despite centuries of repression, tyranny and foreign occupation. This blog aims to promote Estonian news, history and culture and seeks to enlighten readers about everything this unique country has to offer.
