I had a work-related trip to Stockholm yesterday (it's not often I get to say that). It's an amazing place - but absolutely freezing still. There are a few signs of spring (crocus flowers were just peeking out in a few places), but here's the view from one of the bridges across to Gamla Stan - look at all the ice!
You could see all the frozen lakes/waterways from the plane on the way in, too - with a few channels through for the ferries.
Anyway, I had a good wander about central Stockholm for an hour in the sunshine, but then got too cold and had to retire to a cafe for coffee and cinammon buns. I've decided they might be the best bit about Sweden. I might have to make an emergency trip to IKEA for some more...

Are the red floats in the photo for the swimming lanes?
Dad: Yes, they should be! The funniest thing was all the seagulls/ducks/swans etc standing on these tiny pieces of ice in the water, obviously desperate not to get their feet wet...
