Walk in the park

by miramaze @ Sunday, 12. Jul, 2009 – 22:41:50

Walked across Västerbron then took the no 4 bus to Odenplan and then 515 to Haga Norra. Walked through the park and had tea and Haga Bulle at VasaSläten.

My knee started to hurt so I hobbled to the nearest bus stop and took the 59 to Hammarbyhamnen, not knowing where it was going but curious I stayed on until the last stop and then the train from Slussen to get home,

Lena called to talk about the moon. She'd been for a moonlight swim again and found a porcelain dish in the sea- completely whole - not cracked or anything l .Amazing. She said it had a picture of a lady in a crinolene standing in front of a thatched cottage , inscribed with the words ' Lady Lavender'

Beautiful parks. Are those the other "tents" we spoke of?

The dish sounds amazing, clearly Lena is meant to have it, a gift from the goddess?

  That's Haga Parken - coppar tents there , similar to the one you saw at Drottningholm. We passed Haga on the bus the first time you were here but we didn't get to visit.
  
  Most probably a gift from the goddess. Amazing that it had survived. Lena's daughters have found bits and pieces before now , but never a whole dish . It is amazing that it has survived the rocks.

    Yes, I thought I remembered seeing a picture of it in my guide book.

Thank you
I've always felt safe in this park. Sometimes the quality of light near the trees is simply magical... sort of hazy bluey violet green and mysterious

Highly reminiscent of Edgware except your trees are taller!

Looks like a great place for a walk and a think.

Lena finding that dish - amazing really, and lucky.

  Yes it is- and picnics too. We used to come here a lot when the Prof was growing up. So many happy times, winter and summer. In winter the lake freezes sometimes and you can walk over to the other side. It's a huge park for all sorts of activities. There's also a butterfly house there that Sarah might like.
  
  There is film http://www.fjarilshuset.se/fj/film.html here - in Swedish I'm afraid, but interesting nevertheless x
