The Holy Cross Church of Dalby 

is the oldest stone church still in use in Scandinavia.

"talet" means "century", but, for ex. 1700-talet  it does not mean 17th century the way it does in the States.  

It means 1700's. 

On the wall in the entryway ( the entry is 1300's, I don't actually know how old this plaque is).  

Our friend told me that this area was originally for taking off your armor. 

The iron church door is late medieval.       "The church for a christening font in around 1150.  It has probably been made by the anonymous master Byzantios from Gotland and is one of the most interesting fonts in Sweden."

 

Still an active church....

I am thinking that this natural spring was used as a baptismal font.  

But it is only a guess.

Life seems to be one extended party / fika!

Not really, but here are photo's and comments on some of the excursions we have spent with friends.
BTW- I make it a practice to not include people's faces in photos.  So if you were with us on one of these, and wonder why you do not see yourself, do not be offended!  I am looking out for your privacy.  : )

An afternoon picnic with good friends, good food,  and good conversation. 

Popular single-use grills.  

And then off to see a few castles /mansions.

Draisine cycling on an unused rail track.  : D

Each cycle has one peddler and can carry one other adult, and maybe one or two very small children.  

The terrain was basically flat and it was just enough exercise to justify a nice lunch/ picnic. 

Such a big sky.

Lomma

There is a community ~ 20 kilometers away called Lomma.  We had never been there before.  

Last Sunday we put on our suits, threw together a quick but nice lunch,

 and had a lovely afternoon with a friend.  

What I loved about going to Lomma is that it seemed like a place I would travel too for vacation.  

But it is only a few minutes away. 

Too bad the herring sandwich shop was closed.  : (
