Hello ello

Torbjörn is good to work with, not over-bearing or anything. It was really interesting to hear his stories from the past. Definitely a knowledgeable man. I felt welcome and was very comfortable staying here. The day I arrived we had dinner with some of their friends which was a great start. But not as … read more good of a start as going to the dump.( only for a short while after he’d picked me up from the airport) The view from their property is gorgeous.

It was nice to have another workawayer staying at the same time. Having a partner to work with and having someone in the same boots as you sharing this new experience is definitely a plus. We all planned meals taking turns to cook. I cooked two meals which went down well. ( Although serving one at 10:15pm ) The room I slept in was lovely and their living room with the pool table is very cool. I liked all of the food. It was cool to experience something Swedish - kräftskiva - Although I’m not the biggest fan of seafood It was fun. I think Peter and Anna prepared that?, even with Anna's allergy, so thankyou. The 7 shots of Whiskey was very generous Torbjörn. Madeleine's cake she made was proper stuff.

The work:
----
Lawn mowing, strimming, creating a parking space and ramp out of gravel ( Landscape engineering ). Log cutting using their machine. Moving old stoves via his ATV and a little mobile crane. Extension of an underground pipe. Getting to grips with the ATV was quite fun. Smashing some roofing tiles. Around 5 hours each day with a good break for lunch.
----
Sauna and a cold beer is a great combination. They have a fishing cottage and sauna next to a beautiful river which we went to twice. It’s in the middle of nature, very tranquil. You can hear three echoes if you shout. We had beer and hotdogs cooked on a camp fire here. 5 Hotdogs myself, cant complain. Madeleine uses one of the buildings as an antique shop.. It’s very cool, I have a very nice long jacket now, a great momento. Along with a couple other things. Thankyou Madeleine. Im quite fascinated by old stuff so I was in there for a bit too long you could say.

I stayed in Ostersund for a day and slept in a hostel overnight ( STF Östersund Ledkrysset hostel ). I was hoping there would be people in the hostel to meet and go out with but there wasn’t really anyone. It was a nice hostel however. I parked up in the English pub for a good number of hours and then headed onto Marité. Having met some Swedes around my age and a cool Venezuelan guy. It was fun. Topped off with a big big juicy Kebab at 2/3AM from Kebab City.

Peter and Anna stayed across from us in the other house. It was great to get to know them and have them around! Thankyou for all the photos Peter. I was lucky to have been there the same time as them. Östersunds FK is the greatest football team in Sweden.

I long for some Norrlands Guld. 

Thankyou Madeleine and Torbjörn. Wishing you all the best.

(Excellent)
