The Painting Prince and his Waldemarsudde…

Ron — Fri, 14 Sep 2018 06:00:16 +0000

I first visited Stockholm in 1998. My expert native guide was, my then soon-to-be and now wife, Eva. It was just after Christmas and as we entered the city, the sky was blue, and the sun was low on the horizon as it does that time of year. It was at that moment I realize...

A visit to the Lund Cathedral and a fine bistro…

Ron — Wed, 18 Apr 2018 12:00:48 +0000

Lunds domkyrka (Lund cathedral) began construction around 1080 AD or some 938 years ago. Which makes it one of the oldest churches in Sweden. Now one must remember that in this time Sweden was just entering into Christianity as the Viking era had only just ended around 1066. At the time of construction, Lund was...

in the forest with friends & a great wild game stew recipe…

Ron — Wed, 10 Jan 2018 14:11:50 +0000

Forests in Southern Sweden, specifically Skåne, take on a wonderful look in the fall. The days begin to shorten and as winter comes nearer the trees release their hormones to begin the process of abscission. As the leaves lose their precious nutrients they change in color and finally drop until the next season. But, more...

Tis the season for lussekatter, Glögg, Sankta Lucia and Julmarknader and soon Tomten kommer! My first visit to Sweden was the Christmas of 1998 with my wonderful, now, wife and “Chief Editor”.

Lunch at Vismarlövs Café & Bagarstuga

Ron — Sat, 02 Sep 2017 01:00:10 +0000

Here in lovely Southern Sweden, we’re just coming out of the coolest summer in over some 100+ years. We felt a little guilty when family and friends back in the US were suffering through a really sweltering summer and we were in the high 60’s (16°C), then we got over it. But our late summer days are getting shorter each day and fall...

Blekinge Holiday Adventure – Tranquility, Fishing, Food & Friends

Ron — Sat, 01 Jul 2017 14:00:34 +0000

You remember those days when your friends or relatives would bore you to death with the pictures of their holiday (vacation)? When I was a wee lad, we had a wonderfully cheerful neighbor who did just that. He would return from his annual road trip to somewhere in America I hadn’t been. We’d go over on a...
