Hej Sverige (Hello Sweden)

I'm now in Stockholm after the whirlwind tour of the UK. Edinburgh was my favourite city and I'd definitely like to go back there and explore a bit more. The weather was freezing so it would be nice to be there if it was a bit warmer. On the way back to London we stayed in York and walked the tiny medieval streets up to York Minster, which is an amazing building to see. We then traveled on to Stratford where we visited Anne Hathaway's house and Shakespeare's childhood home and the museum. It was great to see the plays have been translated into so many languages, including a Klingon version of Hamlet! A couple of hours on the motorway and we were back in London. It was a very quick tour and a bit tiring but still a great way to get a taste of the UK. I had a nice couple of days in London, catching up with friends, hula hooping, visting Dr Johnson's house and the markets, lunching and, seeing Star Trek at IMAX. (Does anyone remember the episode of Blackadder where they accidently burnt Samuel Johnson's only draft of his dictionary and Baldrick and Blackadder were trying to write a new one? Hilarious! Definition of C? Big blue wobbly thing. LOL) It's really really good to see my Swedish "daughter" again after 10 years and to meet her son, Ludwig. I'm looking forward to the weekend with Susanne and her family and, of course, Eurovision, and apparently a visit to the Abba museum is de rigueur!!
