Yesterday I went to the opening of Leena and Taisto’s small, cozy and unique Café “Tuhannen Tuskan Kahvila” placed where the stables of their beautiful wooden house, Liisantalo, were formerly. The building, one of the” Old Houses” (“Vanhat Talot “) of Loviisa, is a traditional Finnish wooden house restored by them with lots of work and love…
And, I met there some common friends. We all enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere, Leena’s pastries and Taisto’s art works…
