Malmo, Sweden. Beautiful,warm days are now a welcome after some light rain showers...........great day for shorts. Since I will be here for 8 days before heading north to Stockholm, might as well take advantage of this good weather..............and start my summer tanning.
My time in Malmo is always interesting as some friends drive me around showing me .........what they consider...........interesting sights and gives me the historical history attached. A true way to visit and appreciate a city. Love the way, they enjoy life.
Now, the day has come when I must make my way up to Stockholm. I will spend a week in Stockholm before the luncheon I attend.
An exciting Saturday. A friend met me at Central Station in Stockholm and ................my day began. A wonderful lite lunch at a seaside Bromma Restaurant .
Salmon, thinly sliced and accompanied by small white potatoes with a white cream sauce. Drink was a wonderful Chardonnay. Left the restaurant and taxied to his apartment, where the dessert was served as we watched film of some days gone by. Left his apartment for dinner at RUBARBER restaurant downtown Stockholm. Was greeted by the matre de and then introduced to the band playing that evening. A singer from Wales named Deri Rollins accompanied by a saxophonist, drummer, base and keyboard. Excellent band .
Was also introduced to Christer Andersson and his wife Lillemor, good friends of Sven,
.......and apparently are well known amongst the patrons and especially the band. Wonderful people who are now working with me to try and bring Deri to America to perform.
It just so happened that I was asked to a sing- a- long
are a wonderful host.
That ended day one in Stockholm, Sweden. A gig with a great Jazz band in a fantastic restaurant.
""Rubarber"".
