It was snowing quite heavily by this time but it was still only tiny dry flakes and not nearly substantial enough to settle in the streets but there was already a gentle dusting on the gabled rooftops and on the Market Square Christmas tree and the town was beginning to assume a wintery appearance. There was nothing in the market that we hadn’t already seen so we completed a quick circuit and then with the snow beginning to cling to our coats decided that it was time for a final drink in Tallinn.
In one corner of the square there was an archway and behind that a narrow lane where there was a little café/bar called the Kehrwieder Chocolaterie that had an inviting appearance so we went inside and discovered a most charming shabby/chic interior with rustic furniture and comfortable chairs, the crackle of a log fire and the smell of chocolate and seasonal spices. With traditional Christmas decorations it was like a scene from a Yule tide picture postcard and we sat and chatted and enjoyed our drink and through the windows watched as the snow continued to fall.
O beautiful

Ah Andrew, the snowfall sounds so beautiful and romantic – of course that’s coming from a Southerner (US) who rarely gets to see it. And amazing – I remember that shop from Tallinn – truly the definition of warmth. Well Done! 🙂 ~Terri

Thanks Terri. We like a bit of snow in the UK – a couple of centimetres and everything grinds to a halt and the newspapers declare a national emergency. Luckily it never stays around very long to be a real nuisance.
That was a good coffee shop, I could have stayed there most of the day.
Happy New Year and enjoy thou travels in 2015 – I look forward to following the blog for another year!
