Stena Scandinavica

On my many Gothenburg harbour runs, I have often passed the ferries bound for Kiel, thinking that one day I would sail away with them and show the kids a country that has meant so much to me over the years.

After an intense day on Zoom, organizing a joint social policy workshop with 75 students from Halmstad and the University of Worcester, I took the tram with the kids and my parents to the ferry terminal around 5 pm, sensing their joy and anticipation. Before leaving, I managed one last morning run in Skatås, wrapping up 300 kilometres for October, and picked up a final piece of spelt bread from Lilla Sur.

Ahead of us lies an autumn break in Hamburg and Berlin. Since Eddie has been learning German for two years, it feels especially meaningful to give him a sense of the country. Taking Rawls & Me along, I hope to share a few moments from the road before returning to Halmstad next week.
