Took this photo at 3.30 pm today just before Ann took the Swedish contingent off to the Harwich ferry which sails at 6pm for Esbjerg. They will then catch a train across Denmark to Malmo in southern Sweden. Stay in Malmo until Sunday evening, then catch the night train up to their home town in Northern Sweden, arriving at around 7am on Monday when the girls, and Ruth go on to school at eight am. By Monday evening I think they will be ready for another holiday !!! What it is to be young and energetic! Christmas is now over. We've more or less filled the traditional twelve days of Christmas, and I don't think I can remember a better one. It has been really lovely. Got lots of catching up and tidying up to do now. Goodnight all.

Excellent shot Pa, I like the way the gateway frames us all.
Thank you both very much for the good company, cheer and fare. We have all had a great holiday, even the journey was surprisingly relaxing. It poured when we reached Denmark and snowed when we got to Malmö, but as I go rain or snow nothing ever bothers me.
One other thing, going back we had to go through a security controll with metal detectors and x-rays for the baggage. We hadn't expected it and Lasse was concerned about his bread knife, but they didn't check any further, so it wasn't a problem. During all this, we had five items of luggage plus several bags of food, Strawbs came up with a brilliant plan which she told us all loudly. (She was still carrying the ballon that you had blown up for her.) "What if Pa's breath was poisonous! They wouldn't be able to see it in the balloon would they!"
Oh, is that why the Swedish Customs and Excise men called round this morning and breathalised me ????
