Bonus points to Meredith!

Borlânge as they say in France - aka Rock City, aka Gangsta City! And correct, none shall pass Borlänge without the intention to go all the way to Mora

Rock on!

carl XVI gustav - whose picture was in the parents bedroom of my lundby dollhouse, along with his lovely wife silvia.

bosse....i love dalarna. such a beautiful area of sweden, no?

[bosse_s]

It is the best area, no doubt!

E

Eldstad = Fireplace, hearth.

[bosse_s]

You skipped D, Wally.

D then for Dalarna (a county in Sweden)

[Didac]

F= Fulöl

bad beer.. Fulöl came in on the list since it's such a genuine Swedish word

G.
G for gift. It can cause misunderstanding as it
doesn't mean present but poison. If I'm not wrong
also married. Which, for some people, has the same
meaning as poison. Just kidding, of course. I know
a few folks who are happy and blissful for being
married. They say it's honeymoon everyday.

Lycka till.

H.

H for hjärtaväninna. Maybe it's not a common word in
Swedish. But I love it. Or better, jag älskar henne.

Lycka till.

I.

I for igår kväll. Yesternight. 'All my troubles seemed
so far away.' Can any of you folks around try a Swedish
translation of that quotation, maybe from a song ?

Tusen tack och lycka till.

J.

J for jordgubbar. Strawberries. A bellyful of
strawberries and smultron.

K. Kram, kronor, Kristianstad.

Kristianstad. A city in Skåne. The cradle of
Svenska Film Industry. And, above all, a very beautiful
city. It's in Sweden. It could have been in Danmark and
actually, it was. Does it matter ?
It's worth a visit. Varsågod ! Try the local beer.
Skål!

As for the heading at the top, it's a wish for love,
comfort and the life in a good city.

Lycka till.

L.

L for Lycka till, of course. But also lilla for little.
Lund, a city in the south of Sweden. In a county in the
very south of Sweden. But also Lulea ( ? ).
Lillehammer, in Norway. Maybe.

I suggest you Livorno a city in Tuscany the most
beautiful region in Italy. And Lucca, same region.
Same reason.

As for the M, I give you the choice. Too easy for
me suggesting......Milano, my city!!!!
And.....Malmö, of course.

Smultron och jordgubbar. It's a way to wish prosperity
in every season of the year. It comes from....who knows.
