JOURNEYING...



En route from Stockholm



Bollnas Station

I have been in London for 10 days and after a pit stop in Stockholm arrived back to my Swedish House late on Friday.

I have been out of the blog loop and will be for some time.

My lovely beautiful Mum who is only 64
 is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's Disease
She is now receiving pallative care at home...

We are all on a very different journey now...

TIME FOR TEA
was open this Saturday/Sunday

We plan to be open
 on Saturdays/Sundays throughout August AND September


This is been a wonderful distraction for us all
 and a way to meet many lovely Swedish people and practice our Swedish, although many visitors enjoy speaking English with us and talking about London.

Both the Loppis and 'Afternoon Tea'
 are proving to be very popular 
especially since the newspaper article.

Thank you for all your lovely comments and Good Luck wishes!

LOVE PEACE enJOY your summer!

Julie

    Hello Julie,
    so sorry to hear about your mum, 64 feels too young for this awful disease but I know it can strike at any age!

    Well done on the Tea shop though, it looks fabulous!
    Love and a big squashy hug,
    Rachel x
