We first met Indrek at the Estonian children’s camp SORVE back in 2005 or 2006, We both had children attending then camp at the time, we shared a cabin with some other gentlemen. When he heard that we were going to Estonia for the first time, he invited the family to come and stay with him in Tallinn where he was living at the time in Muurivahe Vanalinn. We stayed with Indrek and Mari for about a week while we were waiting for our luggage to arrive from Australia. As we only had the clothes that we were wearing on our flight over, Indrek gave me one of his shirts to tide me over. Indrek and Mari showed us around Vanalinn and surrounds and took us to some of their favourite restaurants and we had a memorable BBQ in the school grounds opposite their house. When Indrek and Mari returned to Australia and made Melbourne their home we continued to catchup for dinners and lunches, we were very fortunate that we had lunch with Indrek and Mari at our house in June this year, who would of thought that just over two months neater he woul no longer be with us. Indrek sent us a card a couple of weeks later thanking us for the time spent together that afternoon. The post card was of the famous “Water Garden”,
. Lamenting the latest lockdown in Melbourne, his last comment was “who knows when we’ll see this garden again?”
