We even had time for recreation, and it was magical listening to Jake Elwes playing jazz on the piano

Lizzie catching up with local Finnish poet Kai Nieminen. We were lucky enough to borrow two ceramic objects by him and his late wife Elina Sorainen from our friend Nina Bjorkman-Nystén. Elina lived with Kai up the road in Loviisa and was a specialist in Iranian and Japanese ceramics.
