Ponderings over the pond

Welcome to this bilingual (Swedish-English) group blog by family members living on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, "the pond". Our interests range from the scientific to the eclectic, including gourmet food, horses, art and literature, computers, species in nature, history and iron, and photography. Three generations are posting here.

Transatlantiska tankar

Tänk vad många tankar man kan tänka på varsin sida av den stora pölen Atlanten. Det här är en gruppblogg av tre generationer i en samtida svensk-amerikansk familj. Konst, musik, natur, film, mat, trädgård, och en massa annat är våra huvudintressen. Välkomna!
