The LangHolmen Prison was renovated to a 112 room hotel and hostel.  This postcard shows you one of the cells. Not really sure what the mannequins are about.

Thanks Hanna.

Recipe for Rhubarb Pie


This last card from Emma shows a recipe for rhubarb pie which is in Swedish.  I love recipe cards and they are always welcome.  They educate you on the cuisine of other countries and you can even try the recipes.
The method is shown on the other side of the card.

Thanks very much Emma for the wonderful cards!

The Swedish Flag


Like any other flags the colours on the Swedish flag represent something.  The blue represents vigilance, truth and loyalty,perseverance and justice while the yellow represents generosity.  The flag reads Welcome to Granna. Granna being located in Jonkoping County. Various scenery of Granna are also shown.

Skane


Got three more postcards from Sweden in the post from Emma.  Skane is a county in  Sweden and is known for its attractions. This postcard shows what looks like a beach and some rocky formations. Great place for a bit of rock climbing.
