Exciting times

This was the mid point of our holiday to sweden and the UK. Dubai airport is massive. 
Stockholm is a beautiful city with lots of art and history at every turn. This was an interesting statement about gun violence. 
We are staying with friends who live in Stockholm and have a summer house on an island in the Swedish archipelago. Surrounded by forest with blueberries and lingonberries growing wild. The weather has been so warm we even went swimming. 
Everything is so neat, even the wood heaps!
These,are our hosts, Marianne and Janne on the jetty at sunset while their twin granddaughters are fishing. 
I've found a few fabrics  but no quilt shops. The Swedish textiles and home wares are to die for. Might have to post some things home! Off to the UK,on Wednesday.

  1. It is a beautiful country. I sailed from Finland into the Stockholm harbour many years ago it is a fine place to holiday and their Summer houses on the lakes are beautifully quaint. I knew that you would like it. I am envious good times
