… we went to Ystad to see Kurt Wallendar. Unfortunately he was busy solving a crime, but we did visit a Swedish film museum that illustrated the making of movies with a particular emphasis on Henning Mankill’s books.

And Cousin Olof takes me through the cow and sheep pastures of southern Sweden as a special treat, as he knows what an outdoors woman I am at heart.

Actually we were on our way to Ales Stenar, a Viking ship of stone with similarities to Stonehenge.

And lunch, of course, at the seaside.

On to Lund Cathredal and the astronomical clock.

Then on to a strange little village in the middle of nowhere, built as a new style of housing development but looking like an old German town. I guess it has social and architectural significance .

The significance for me of course was fika.

Even doing a load of wash is fascinating and new over here in Sweden. Instead of a tumble dryer, Olof has a drying cabinet. You hang the clothes inside and they are dried with heat but definitely it is not a dryer as we know it.

On the last day I was able to get pictures of Olof’s driving carriages. No horse though.

A quick trip to see more mull toa on the way to the airport.

And a fond farewell to Cousin Olof at the airport in Angelholm.
