Winter in Svångemåla

This is a really hard and difficult winter although it is only December. Hate is a strong word but not far from what I felt yesterday when I had to walk forth and back several times from the car to the house, remove snow from the cellar door and in general fight hard to find out the status of the small cottage.

Overwhelmed

I am a bit overwhelmed today. It is full winter in Sweden and I have not been to Svångemåla for a while but readers from all over the world continue to log on to this blog. The last week it has had readers from Russia, Serbia, Taiwan, Israel and Sweden. During the last year surfers from 56 countries have visited Svångemåla News which must make Svångemåla one of the most internationally known small villages in the world :) I got a very nice comment from Taiwan (?) written in Chinese but thanks to Google Translate I could read it without any problems.

The last time I traveled to Svångemåla a rainbow arched over the road like a bridge. An amazing sight.



The red poles are put along the roads to guide the snow plows when the roads are completely covered by snow like they have been this early and unusually cold winter.
