Today I made a short visit to the dreaded small town earlier mentioned. Hmmm… was rather interesting. I survived though!
Hard to explain to anyone who hasn’t seen a Swedish small town, but for anyone who has, the pattern is familiar, big empty square, same shop chains as everywhere Konsum, Fonus and Systembolaget (in this case next door neighbour to the Salvation Army!) a slow pace of life and an impressing amount of old people with walkers!
To its advantage today was a very warm and sunny spring day, which makes any place look a little more pleasant, but still…
There are definitely some parts of the town that are very idyllic. Or as friends of mine would call it; it is an "idyllajävel".
What really struck me was the amount of old ladies with walkers. But as a friend later commented; those are probably the only people up that early in the morning without any particular place to go, so they might not be representable for the whole population of the town.

Håll oss inte på halster längre. Vilken småstad pratar vi om????
Ha ha, jag kanske ska inbjuda till gissningstävlan! Jag har inte velat skriva det rent ut, vill ju inte att de som bor där ska känna sig sårade, men den ligger inte så långt från staden där vår vän Catrin bor, hälsade på henne när jag var på intervjun, och namnet slutar på -hamn. Nu har du fått lite mer ledtrådar!
Ja, då kan jag räkna ut vilken stad det är. Kanske en håla, men kommunikationsmässigt ligger det väl rätt OK till!?
