August 15, 2024 by Rosie McCann1 Comment

June must be the perfect time to visit Sweden. Quite far north, and in the build-up to solstice, the sun doesn’t set until around 10pm. The flowers were in full bloom in parks and roadside. There were blue skies every day but the air still felt crisp, fresh, not the back-of-the-bus kind of heat I associate with summer in the cities of the UK. Last June I spent a few days visiting a couple of friends who lived in Copenhagen (DK) and Lund in … [Read more...]
