three-year contracts, were the lowest since 2005.

Hallloooo..it's Sweden – it's winter!

I never cease to be amazed at how, in recent years, the media has become more Americanised in it's reporting.The 'havoc' referred to in this headline

is…cars skidding and ferries having a rough crossing.The fact that weather forecasting is now pretty accurate did not deter the ferries from sailing.There must have been 'havoc' in the accountancy offices of the ferry lines, the thought of having to cancel a sailing! Vehicles skidding…oh, what havoc!!!!

Hey, it's Sweden. It's winter. it happens every year. 'Havoc' is maybe just a little (no a lot) over the top as a headline.

no scramble….

Raja Batak coffee morning

In Bengtsfors I buy my coffee from my favourite Coffee Shop (which is also an internet

cafe and PC shop…so I get so much pleasure going there…as well as meeting my 'club'

of wonderful Swedish friends

 

I buy mostly a coffee latte when I visit and buy coffee beans to take home. They get

some truly exceptional coffees (including Kopi Luwak, which I could never drink due

to it's source). So here's a SUPERB coffee I just bought at CAMERAIT

 

They source many of their coffees from Johan & Nystrom, arguably Sweden's most

interesting roasteri producing 'slow-roasted' expertly sourced select coffees by hand.

Even just reading about their coffees (each usually has it's source history,farm,

location,etc shown on their website) guides you into the realms of not simply a

cup of coffee,but a 'coffee experience' that is one of the

great pleasures and delights of life. Click on the picture
