I live in an old farmhouse in Gotland, (indeed a challenging renovation task!)the large picturesque island in the Baltic and in Sandhamn - the sailing centre of Sweden - situated in the Stockholm archipelago. Obviously "an island person" who fish and I was almost born in a boat. Lived in Africa for some 8 years - and for some years in the US in the 60s.. Travel a lot to countries afar.

The tastes of Italy..
Dofterna, fröjderna för ögat och för gommen. Jag älskar Italien - som så många andra - och försöker komma dit så ofta jag kan. Denna gång blev det Toscana och Umbrien. Samt några dagar vid Medelhavet- inkl.ett dopp faktiskt! (april) - vid Marina di Pisa samt tågresa till Pietra Santa med sin vita marmor och sina skulptörer och konstnärer.
