Garden of Mandelmann, Sweden - ..?

After something that felt like hours but probably was only minutes, I was found by Anders one of the gardeners on Mandelmanns, he picked me up, laughed and showed me of to everybody living on the farm. Everybody especially commented my long and beautiful armpit-hair. I quickly decided that this was a place to be at, and learn from so I did a few days of work experience there. This included tending the pigs (scary), working in the café kitchen (luckily I could sit in Rasmus pocket), harvesting tomatoes (great, I'd like to do it everyday), watering a Katsura hedge (a great bush-tree that I now know everyting about), I also took the liberty to ride on one of the sheeps heads, one evening Anders' girlfriend Sofie cut his hair up on the stunning hills it sure was magical! After all that I was quite tired and needed a rest, and so did Anders and sofie, we all took a weekend trip to Lund in their great cabbed car and from there onwards to Söderåsens Nationalpark, one of the most butiful places I've ever seen, and that compensated for the fact that I had to hang around with these nut nature lovers, they even got aroused over a heap of moss! I met a nice little falcon there as well, we really clicked, and were going to keep contact over e-mail in the future. On the evening we spent some time with Sofie and Anders friends and one of them, Kristin, told me she was going to canada only a few weeks later, and she wondered if I'd like to come. Oh what a dilemma, I already had an offer to go to Paris from a girl on Mandelmanns. Anyhow, I never needed to decide beacuse when she was leaving she simply kidnapped me from Sofie. So oh Candada here i come!
