Wednesday in Stockholm.

Another sunny day so walked to Valdemars Udde, forlerly the home of Prince Eugen in the late 19th C. He would have liked to be just a painter but was only allowed to do so part of the time. Eventually he found a role being the chair of a handicraft movement in Sweden and he took a great interest in it. This year we arrived at the opening time of 1:00 to find ourselves going in by the front door. They were in the process of rejigging the separate exhibitions space so less of the collection was visible than usual. We started would you believe, with an excellent lunch in the original house kitchen, followed by an exhibition of abstract weavings ( good) and another of sculpture ( so bad that the main interest was geological; he had some intereasting rocks he had mistreated). We went home and did some more teak work, eating at home.
