We want our allotment back!

Vaatamata Ökomässu festivali kurjakuulutavale nimele, sujus kõik plaanipäraselt. Kõne sai peetud. Vaba peenra sõnum läkitatud.
Ja meil läks hästi! Palju õnne!

Tähelepanuväärne, et peale seminari lõppu tulid inimesed rääkima oma peenramaa mälestustest: "Peale sõda oli Politseiaia pargis saksa vangide peenrad" ja "Tõnismäel olid apteekrite aiamaad" või siis "Kuuekümnendatel said minu vanemad aiamaa Merimetsa. Hiljem loobusime sellest, sest ostsime maja maale. Nüüd ei jaksa seal autoga enam käia. Ja tahame oma aiamaad linnas tagasi."
Hea on jõuda inimeste mälestusteni. Ah, ja mis võiks olla lapsepõlve mälestustest magusam!

Everything went as we planned previously although frightening name of the festival Ökomäss (Eco Revolt). The speech was spoken. The message was sent.
And We did well! Congratulations!

Curious enough, that after the seminar people came to talk about their allotments memories: "After WWII an allotments of German prisoners were in Politseiaed park" and "In Tõnismäe popped up an allotments of nearby pharmacy" or "Do you remember, my parents got an allotment in Merimetsa in the sixties but after while we gave it away and we bought a house in the country. Now we are tired to go there by car. It would be great to have one in the city. We want our allotment back."
It’s good to reach to people’s memories. Oh, and what could be sweeter than childhood memories!
