Breakfast in the backyard!

Once I got back to the city, I had a breakfast date in the backyard of our building with our neighbour and sweet, dear friend! It's a little piece of heaven in the middle of Töölö, as many backyards in Helsinki are. Beautiful roses are blooming at the moment, there were at least ten big peonies a week ago, and rhubarb too! Have to organize a BBQ soon, it's perfect for that as well!

We chatted, had tea, coffee, and surprise surprise: some sparkling too! Mmmmh! Good times, pretty, pretty summer!

My friend got us fresh strawberries straight from the marketplace!

There's a story about this beautiful relief in the brick wall of our yard: decades ago lots of artists and musicians were renting apartments in our building, and one artist in particular couldn't afford to pay the rent, so this relief was given in exchange. It's so beautiful, very delicate, I love watching it!
