Strömstad

I've spent the last few days in Strömstad on the west coast of Sweden with Emma and her family.  Öystein's mum Elisabeth has a summer house here and we're enjoying the peace and quiet and beautiful surroundings.  We've been going to the beach, playing in the yard and barbecuing but I think the highlight so far (at least for William) was the visit to the local fire station. We drive pass every time we're going to the shop or in to the city, so today on our way back, we called in and asked for a tour. William loves everything to do with fire engines and ambulances so it seemed like a good idea.  A lovely woman showed us around, gave William a little fire hat and some books and we even got to climb up into one of the fire trucks.  It was a bit too scary for William but mum and auntie Johanna took the chance...
