I cought sight of this lovely old tree in the courtyard of the newly built houses. I like the way they built round it .
Instead of going for a walk around the lake , I went the other way , down to canal, a stretch of water that goes right into Stockholm. It's a nice walk in the summer that brings you out to Karlberg Castle and takes about an hour and a half , the way I walk. I usually stop half way , high up on a hill where there are a few seats and a fabulous view. There's a small path that takes you down to a small beach where you can bathe. Since I am nowhere near " mountain goat " abilities and dislike cold water , I usually sit at the top , eat my packed lunch , sunbathe and admire the view. Today was lovely - bright and sunny and quite warm. Unfortunately I couldn't turn left at the canal because the area was cordoned off as there was construction work going on, so I turned right to have a look at flats that were built quite recently overlooking the water, with their own marina.No boats yet as they are all in dry dock. Afterwards called in at the ICA supermarket to pick up some fish - pangasius - or something like that - it's a lovely white fish that I like very much and you can't get it everywhere.
It is marketed as " environmentally friendly " - I really like it's delicate taste and there are no bones , which must mean that it is a big fish.
