Hi Carola and many thanks for your friendship, should love to know what Franconia is like? I bet you are very pleased that you are not far for visits to sweden, I love the place and yet have never been, but this site and studies tell me it is a plethra of beauty and splendour. I hope to visit next summer 2011, meantime from a UK that can't sing, unlike germany and a UK that is dodgy at football just this minute, I bid you a happy week, from a very hot england, best wishes, Chris

Hallo Carola, Did you plan already i trip in Sweden. Regards, Peter

Hej Carola. How are you? We had a nice winter and today it is warm and sunny -finally. I may or may not get to ski. A little late in the season. I want to buy cross country skies next year. Just wanted to see how everything is going!

Hallo Carola, Thanks for inviting me as a friend, i see that you like also hiking in the north. Grusse Peter

Hej Carola. How is everything? I am busy as usual. Getting ready for the Holidays. It is raining and supposed to turn to snow tonight. It will probably melt in a day. I would love to live some place where the snows stays all winter. Some day. Hope all is well.

Important information: the problem with uploading new profile photos should now be fixed. We're very sorry for the frustration this has caused. The problem occured together with an update of the CoS dynamic page titles.

Hi Carola. No, the photo was not taken in October, it was uploaded in October. They have had a good snow fall over the last week in Kiruna though:)

(Message to all members) CommunityOfSweden.com has gotten it's biggest update so far: Groups! Anyone can create a group and other members can then join this group and discuss the group's subject and upload relevant photos. A group can be about a city, an activity, perhaps a swedish musician or something else. You decide! You'll find the new Groups section in the top navigation. Check it out and enjoy! :)
