Street in Stockholm

This is one of the street I pass every day to go to work, Jakobsbergsgatan in Stockholm.

I'ts a hanging flower basket - one of many this summer here in Sweden.

And then another summer flower, a big yellow sunflower close to home.

A friend of mine wrote a book

One of my best friends wrote a book, not just her either, together with her husband. I just have to write about it, it is just soo exiting. It is kind of a childrens book, but ok for adults too.

The book is "Tommy Wilkins and the Black smiles", by Kristina Lonnquist and Stan Eales, as Christina & Stanley.

The story follows the struggles of twelve-year-old Tommy Wilkins as the fabric of his existence slowly unravels to reveal another reality underneath. Tommy has problems like most young people: an overbearing Dad and struggles as school. But he also has problems over and above his friends: 1. He has an overwhelming predilection for sweets. 2. His mother has disappeared mysteriously. 3. His Grandfather died mysteriously. 4. His Dad’s housekeeper, ‘The Dragon’ does not seem to be human!
The story also takes place in a parallel world, Candyland. This is a kind of ‘therapeutic heaven’ for children who have died in tragic circumstances.

Swedish summer

Just some photos from this summer here in Sweden, from my walks in the sun.

First two pictures is from an old barn, that now is in ruins.

Two barns that does not "work" no moore. But beautiful anyhow.

Then we have a field of cereal, to become grain later on, not ready to be harvested yet. But soon.

An to finish off, a bot in concrete with floers. Lovely!

At Hötorget in Stockholm

Must share this pic from Hötorget in Stockholm, where they sell flowers and fruit, among other fresh things. It is always nice to walk around here and bou fresh wegetables and berries.

Now it's time for raspberries and strawberries. Good price for the flowers and fruit too, especially if you come at Saturday before closing time.

And then I give you one photo from my garden wit lovely white flowers with a lot of perfume.

The pond

Love this photo of our little pond inte the garden. My brother made it some years ago, and I tried to help. Last year we had some goldfish in it, but not this year.

But we have an water lilly - Nymphaeaceae - in the pond instead. Really beautiful.
