  1. Thanks for sharing Hawk. I hope you have a great week. I spent the weekend with some friends from Helsingborg, Sweden. I know they are grateful that summer is nearing your part of the world.

    1. Hi Bryan
      I think the most of people are thankful, that summer is slowly coming also to the north Europe. Even though Helsingborg is so much more to the south than where I live, they do not have any real winter, only a little bit of wet snow sometimes :)
      Have a good week!
