24hrs behind bars




This week I went to jail in Sweden, how exciting! haha! well, no, I wasn't a bad girl really, it was all planned. I was there for a work conference with Kirsi and our hotel was a converted prison, last used as a prison in 1975, situated on one a Stockholm's many islands called LÄngholmen. It was actually really picturesque, there were beautiful gardens there with red tulips, Lily of the Valley, bluebells and all sorts, gorgeous!


We even spotted a Swedish dog-sitting service, it was hilarious, 3 humans and about 30 dogs of all shapes and sizes, just trotting along. I was amazed that they all got on so well and that there was no fighting. Although it seemed problematic when a different dog who wasn't part of their gang came along and threw a spanner in the works! haha!


Well, it was quite an intense stay in LÄngholmen prison, but worthwhile, I have loads of new contacts now and the project will hopefully go well. The food was excellent and the sparkling wine even better ;)
