Today I went for a walk in the beautiful summer landscape here in Sweden. Just a bit outside the city of Uppsala, is a place full of memories from a distant past with vikings and their runestoes with runes that remebered their lost family members.
Just close to my home is this runestone from about 1000 yeras ago that tells us a story about a man that lost his life and were remebered by his brothers and family.
And here is another glimpse of a really lovely forrest, gren and cool to walk in on a hot summer day.
This is the place I went to today, Marma Store that had a car boot sale, a thrift store and a nice coffee bar.
I live in Sweden and write for a living, as a journalist and writer. In this blog I talk about my mother Gunvor's work as an artist, my travel around the world and a lot more.

Stone faced - again
Here is more of the lovely pieces of art from my mother Gunvor. Mostly stone faces in diffrent types and forms.
This time not all of them are made in acutal stone, some is in wood too.

And as you can see, some is also made as an old runestone, this is the one's on the right, you know the this the vikings left behind - mostly to remember their family members that passed away. Remember, she use to live where the vikings passed by with their ships...
