I know it but it's not my impression. I guess on our travels back in the 70s we must have kept mainly to the more scarcely populated areas! Sweden (~450.000 km2) now has 9,4 m I learn as I check the facts. 1,2 m of them in Stockholm. I grew up in a small village but all my adult life I've lived in towns with about 80-100.000 inhabitants and never really wished to live in a smaller place. Nor in a bigger city, for that matter!DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956409908791716009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-4601127879348118462010-11-26T07:31:16.163+13:002010-11-26T07:31:16.163+13:00Thank you GB.
I lived in Edinburgh for a year. I ...Thank you GB.<br /><br />I lived in Edinburgh for a year. I thought Britain/Scotland was beautiful and the people delightful. But on returning to NZ, despite being a small place, I felt I could take a big breath and stretch. <br /><br />What a year NZ is having! But as they say............I'm pretty sure it will make us all stronger, or at least reflective (a quality I think very important and many don't often employ).<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words on my birthday post. I wish you good health also, for many adventure and fun filled years ahead :-)Jaz from Treacy Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497699735018237014noreply@blogger.com
