Greetings Turnips!
Hej! Hej! and thrice Hej! as Frankie Howerd might have said in Upp-Sala!
A strange thing has happened - It’s getting warmer! Sweden is bursting with life as trees turn green, flowers bloom and neighbours acknowledge each other for the first time since last autumn.
In no time at all, we Turnips will be jumping off jetties into crystal clear lakes and watching the most incredible sunsets in the world.
Sit back and relax as our Scandinavian friends, lovers and casual acquaintances turn from pale white to lobster red to fake tan brown. Roll on the summer!
Svenska Hörnan
Don’t say a word....
(Essential Swedish from 1947)
Om ni lämner mig nyckeln till er koffert, så kommer ni inte att bli störd
Give me the keys to your trunk, then you will not be disturbed
Min mage är i oordning
My stomach is out of order
Ni måste isoleras i karantän under fem dagar
You will have to be quarantined for 5 days
Things we still giggle at........
There are teenage boys who spend their afternoons hanging around outside the gates of the local Catholic girls’ school for a chance to do just this.
If they move to Sweden, they can tell their mates that they enjoy a finger every evening with a cup of tea.
And all for less than twenty kronor!
