So, as you can see there are some photo's to the right. These are mainly of Midsommar a couple of weeks ago. For some reason the order is backwards so please go from the bottom if you don't like reverse chronological order. If you click on them it will take you to a Picasa web album (basically they appear larger).

Swedish Midsommar involves tradition Swedish songs and the decorating of a phallic symbol, the maypole, that children (and adults) dance around to emphasize procreation. These dances and songs are about doing washing and being a small frog or pig, as you can imagine it was very entertaining.

After all of this excitement we went to the park to drink, eat and be merry, hooray!!!

The Very First Munchkin Post.

Välkommen to “A Munchkin’s Adventure”! This is all very new and exciting and hopefully I will get the hang of blogging before too long.

As most of you know I am now living in Sweden, I have gone into early retirement and live the life of a lady of leisure. Life is so very hard! I am intending to use this blog as a means of updating you all, the idea being that it will be easier than mass emails. So feel free to comment, be a twit, or whatever it is you’re supposed to do with these things. I will of course regale you with tales of my adventures and observations about the world in general.

At the moment I live in a world of apartments, cobbled streets, buildings without eves, pretty parks, greenery in summer (very weird), a combination of kebab meat on pizza (which is amazing!), not understanding Svenska and everybody loves ice cream!

I will keep this short and sweet. I will be updating this very soon with more details and hopefully some photos.

I hope you are all well and happy.

Keep in touch,

Cara (aka Munchkin).
