There are so many beautiful places - and ...Barbara,<br />There are so many beautiful places - and similar - in the Nordic countries. <br />One of my Swiss friends brought a birch back to Dornach - but I don't know if it still is alive since she has moved into Basel now.<br />Yes, our summer nights are lighter than yours - but where I live, on the sixties latitude, the sun disappears for some hours.<br />Margarethaemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01463254055979575950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208261623835021066.post-42085288910883143412009-09-01T22:13:10.456+02:002009-09-01T22:13:10.456+02:00Your neighbourhood reminds me very much - sorry - ...Your neighbourhood reminds me very much - sorry - of landscapes and areas in Finland where I stayed when I was young. Unspoilt nature, beautiful forests and lakes. At that time I felt in love with birches (and later I planted two of these trees in my garden). And above all this very special light, lasting long. We were reading then, sitting in a little boat, until almost midnight. I guess, this you can do in Sweden too (I've only been to Stockholm and its surroundings), can't you?! Wishing you warm and sunny late summer days!<br />BarbaraBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062381754017907653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208261623835021066.post-87520535144538247072009-08-30T19:06:29.132+02:002009-08-30T19:06:29.132+02:00Welcome back Kristi!

I am surprised that you could tear yourself away from those lovely Folio books to take us on the tour, though.<br /><br />I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the books. I have all except the Gombrich. I love reading about the Middle Ages and "The Language Instinct" was referred to constantly in my work.<br />Maureenmonixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631194815411019266noreply@blogger.com
