We have already been in Sweden for a week with both rain and glorious sunshine.
The highlight so far has been meeting up with my cousin who lives in Canada. He left many years ago so we have had no contact but I think it was last year or the year before that we found each other and this year we also managed to meet up. We grew up in the same neighborhood and I have such fond memories of our childhood. He had two older brothers and my sister and I used to play together especially with the two younger ones. We have not seen each other since we were children and it was great to catch up. This time it was just a lunch in the sun and a visit with my mother but next time we hope it might be longer.
I wish I had thought to show you before and after pictures of our cottage when we arrived with the grass up to our knees and now with the beautifully cut lawn, but I didn't think to take photos. What a difference!
Soon our friends from England, my sister-in-law and our daughter from Africa and her husband will be arriving, as well as my nephew and mother, so we will have a very full house. I am sure I will have lots to tell soon.
Until then all my love.
