City Mouse-Country Mouse-City Mouse

I think our plan to recuperate from the rigors of a Madrid wedding by heading to our friends’ 150 year old farmhouse in rural Småland, Sweden, turned out to be wise. At least I’ve had a chance to recover from this cold probably picked up at Gatwick last week (where every variant of the common cold in the known universe passes through) and have had lots of therapeutic sketching sessions in garden, yard, and forest. Today we went on a little outing to Eksjö, famous because a large section of town still survives as all-timber wooden construction. Tomorrow we’ll be ensconsed deep in central London—are we ready for the change of pace?
