Licquorice ice lollies ... and yarn!!
We just got back on Sunday from a 2 week trip to Sweden and Denmark.
The (salt) liquorice ice lollies I found both in Sweden and Denmark were great.
A more lasting pleasure comes from the yarn I carried back, pictures yet to come.
Since then I've been unable to access Blogger.
Now, with a new password, I've got in and uploaded the images missing from my last post.
As yet I have no pictures from our trip.
We flew to Stockholm in the aftermath of the bomb plot arrests, and I didn't take a camera with me. Ian let me use his camera when I wanted to.
I had to buy a new sketchbook in Stockholm, as I didn't want to risk losing 6 years of travel sketches if my luggage went astray on the flight.
Usually I carry vital things like that in hand luggage.
In fact I prefer to take hand luggage only when I travel.
There was no question of that this time.
We arrived at Heathrow and queued for over a couple of hours before being pulled out and fast-forwarded through check-in. From there on it was only minutes until we had got through the stringent security, and into the departure lounge.
Just in case, I volunteered my hearing aids for x-ray along with my shoes and passport and vital papers.
We had the shortest walk to a gate, as it was the first one coming out of the lounge, and went straight on to the plane. Then the waiting began again, as all the luggage was loaded. I was in a position to be able to see that both our bags got on.
So, about an hour after our allotted time we went to line up for take-off, and there was a sudden squally shower that made us another15 minutes late.

A travel sketch book, what a good idea. You wait at the airport didn't sound too terribly bad. I'll look forward to the pictures.
ooooh liquorice ice lollies, that sounds divine. Looking forward to seeing some pics of the trip - glad it was a safe one.
