"Yes, Helsinki is beautiful," I think when I think by bicycle through the Kumpulanlaakso, past the Old Town River, Vantaanjoki, and through a few extra wooded loops to the buckwheat. By the end of August, there has been a stunning sunny weather. As I watch the clock and in a single -speed fillar, I also notice how Mäkinen Helsinki is. Marja Terttu Katavisto, who has promised to be interviewed, is already waiting at the gate of Tattarisuuo's Nyyttipuisto Housing. My intention is to find out what it is like to live Alppikylä 's setting dwellings .
Katavisto's life changed when the man died unexpectedly in 2008. Katavisto lived with her husband in Espoo. The Matinkylä area had become dear. However, there was slowly moving elsewhere. Katavisto was in the queue for a residential apartment and had also applied for a rental apartment . Settlement dwellings became a call Alppikylä . The decision to rent a home came the same day without seeing the apartment. "A good luck happened," Katavisto says.
"It always likes it to his place of residence," says Katavisto. However, Katavisto lists many good things about Alppikylä ; The house is calm, there are flowers and the garden, and the house washing room is like a utility room where you can do anything. "If this doesn't appreciate this, then nothing!" The residential room also serves as a common coffee venue, where Katavisto, who recognizes a hard baker, sometimes brings coffee buns. Katavisto has also made friends from the house. It's great that you can give your spare key to your neighbor, and there is always someone around you if you haven't heard a friend for a while.
Katavisto mentions grandchildren with eight of his life as one of the riches of his life. You can go to a nearby sports field with grandchildren. The adult children of Katavisto have also liked their mother's living environment and nice -looking houses.
Katavisto answers a few questions:
What makes a home home?
The cozy is that there is nothing extra. Katavisto says that it took a couple of years to get home to his own. Part of the old furniture has been eliminated and much more has been made in circulation.
Kerro your neighborhood? Where to go?
On the Jakomäki side, there is beautiful nature and, among other things, the old wartime moat. Otherwise, the jogging trails are good. In winter, it is a good idea to take part in sledding events, Katavisto says. Praise is also available on the Estonian shop at the corner of Tattarisuo. Instead, there would be an order for a good café.
What is the best place to relax in your immediate surroundings?
There is a park on the bench, which Katavisto says he sometimes sits. However, he enjoys his own yard - and it is well understood when he has seen the yard. Many flowers bloom beautifully even on the dawn of the fall. The flowers are taken care of by the house's own small group of talks.
What would you develop in your housing company?
Communality could be more visible. However, Katavisto thinks that community is not forcible. Some want to be in their own circumstances. In addition, catalog is annoyed that not everyone will benefit the house's fine waste sorting opportunities. "That's the thing that you just do." Katavisto encourages people to sort and believes that in every home it is possible to find a solution that facilitates sorting, even if there is not enough space for the kitchen cabinet storage solution.
Praise your neighbor!
Catherine has a neighbor who helps if you even need to repair your pants. And with another neighbor, you can put your hair on. "Everything has clicked," Katavisto sums up. In the evening, a neighbor may call and ask for flowers to water. When watering flowers, we talk about the world's things.
Katavisto is an active volunteer. In addition to spiritual volunteering, he will participate in the waste food distribution on Fridays. "I'm enjoying here," Katavisto says, probably meant living in a Nyyttipuisto Park. However, he becomes the impression that the lady thrives in her life quite widely - despite the fears and all kinds of buns. "I enjoy here" sounds good.
