Hej då!

Posted on 26. Jun, 2012 by in Holidays, The Swedish blog team, Video

Dear fellow Sweden lovers and blog readers, the time has come for me to say goodbye to our beloved Swedish blog. After almost three fantastic years, I will attempt motherhood and everything that might bring… With only days to go until due date and possibly the worst June I have ever experienced weather-wise here in UK – and maybe throw in a few hormones in the mix as well – I have been incredibly Sweden-sick lately. The Midsummer weekend was one long torture, not even meatballs, gravadlax or pickled herring helped. If you by any chance don’t know why I was so homesick this weekend, make sure to watch this and the coin will drop instantly.

On that lovely and summery note, I just want to thank you all for your great comment and inputs throughout the years. I have most certainly learned a lot about my beloved Sweden and I have even found a bunch of new friends from all over the world through this great blog. Katja, Steve, Marcus and Tibor – keep up the excellent work! And blog readers, I leave you with three important and very useful words to add to your vocabulary: Hürda Gürda Mürder!

Tack och kram!

Swedish Blog under construction

Hi All,

As you may have noticed the design of the blog has changed over the past week. This is because Transparent Language is developing an even better and much fancier design as well as changing platforms. If you guys have experienced any sort of trouble during this period, we are very sorry about that. Hold on a little longer; we are all looking forward to the new version. :)

And as always, if you have any suggestions/ideas either for improving the actual blog or its content, we are always appreciative.

Cheers, The Swedish Blog Team

Let’s improve the blog together!
