Drottningholm castle

The old theatre

round the back of the castle

China Pavillion

Alley of trees right at the end of the park , behind the China Pavilion and then turn right to open fields .

Stopped for tea and waffles in the old cellar café´


fell in love with these marigolds

Three men wrestling with a snake .

Sunshine and heat at last around 25C. I love it ! Stll hot enough for me yet. I like the sort of heat that relaxes every muscle in your body and has you moving around leisurely and slowly.

Buses and trains full of sweaty people should be avoided , The great outdoor especially near water is pure bliss. Drinking water all the time is a must though.

Will post some pics of Drottningholm in a minute

How's your Sunday unfolding ?

11:30 and I'm about to have breakfast.
My "cupboard" aka fridge was bare or nearly bare - no eggs- so I was forced to do some grocery shopping. 10 am on a Sunday morning - noone about. Still half asleep , I was beginning to think I'd got the time wrong

Lovely day. I'm planning to go out to Drottningholm castle and park - the Swedish Royal family's residence. You can go there by boat , but it will probably by packed this time of the year so I'll take the bus to Bromma and then another bus.

Right .. must check times.. have breakfast and then be off. Have a fabulous Sunday .. may the sun shine brightly on your day ...love and peace in all your dimensions.

P.S. to myself. My Dream last night was arty and happy. DOn't remember the details , but it was fun.

Also , last night when I went out to water the plants on the balcony at 2:30 am - I saw a falling star and made a wish !

Could this be the summer that seems to have evaded us so far?

Setting out today not knowing what sort of weather to expect. Stuffed a raincoat in my rucksack as well as glittery shawl. Tank top and jeans it was. Layers are a good thing.

Met Lena at Södra station and then Susanne. Maarja joined us after painting her kitchen

Our day turned out well and unfolded nicely.. The sun did shine on our Pride Parade. It was a good turnout - a bit like being part of a Felini film . Everyone happy .. a lot of gayety .. dancing and singing in the streets. The atmosphere was very gay

Police, Military , Church , political parties, parents of gay and lesbians ,deaf gays , handicapped gay , transvestites ,..... lots of differnt people represented in the Pride Parade.. young and old .. a really colourful parade.

Afterwards Maarja and I went for a bite to eat and then for a coffee at Maria Torget - a lovely square with fountains and trees.

Our angel was with us

Time flew by . Finally Maarja's for drinkies- a couple of campari sodas- and to watch the third Ingmar Bergamn interview on T.V. after which a short walktp Firhemsplan and the train home.

And so to bed .. night night ...
