Im Jahr 1996 glaubten wir dass wir endlich in der Landschaft Skåne after having moved about Sweden and having spent time abroad for many years. Drei Jahren später wussten wir besser, and since 2001 Margareta and Nike are living in Chiangmai, whereas Philip commutes between tiny Notodden in Telemark and Chiangmai.. This, however, is the place we hope to retire to, eventually:

The Cottage

Our humble abode is located on Västerlen, a little known corner of Skåne on both sides of the famous "Landsvägen"; "the Highway", traditionally said to divide Sweden into two equal parts. The nearest larger settlement is the old Hanseatic town of Ystad, and the farm itself was once a dependent to castle Marsvinsholm .

the Cat

Acquired for solely sentimental reasons, the old cat has nevertheless proved to be the most trustworthy servant of the vehicle park. She managed a 4,500 mile trip back home to England without replacement of so much as a single fender. A craving for oil, not always easily satisfed, yes, but what don't we all put up with to keep our Jaguars happy?
