Bob @ 18,

Three of my grandparents were born in Sweden. My mother’s father was born in England. We used to let him eat at the grownups’ table on special occasions.

My father was fluent in Swedish and was given to song. One that I heard far more than once went – “Ten thousand Swedes lay down in the weeds, all chased by one Norwegian”.

Smiles,
Roy
