Solen Skiner i Stockholm!

in the summer


So we have to take advantage of the few moments when it's actually sunny in the winter months. And this is what you get - walking through the cold streets of Stockholm, people are stopped, faces sky-ward, eyes closed, soaking up as much warmth and color as possible. And then most Swedes head to the solarium anyway. That or take the healthy route, developing a ghostly tint by mid-February. Either way, everyone is counting down to that first warm day - could it be ... still 4 months away? Maybe less. Best not to remind myself
