But GB, I must say the mountains are lovely to behold.<br />I've never liked the idea of a working holiday. However, I did love the fold-down camper we took to the Texas Hemisphere in the early 1970s and Disney World the year it opened.

Not really my idea of a holiday, and doesn't appeal to me as a job description either! ;) - There were places in Sweden too though, the northern parts, where in the past the women also used to go off with the cows to pastures away from the farm in the summer; and they had special buildings/cabins there as well for those purposes.

The men would be off fishing or tending the croft and the ladies would be out on the common grazings with the sheep and cow and spinning wheel AND MIDGES!Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-71858745216383135682012-05-23T08:11:02.774+01:002012-05-23T08:11:02.774+01:00Beautiful landscape...
