Dear Forum
We had the pleasure to get a visit from Peer with wife and son-in-law when they stayed in the Stockholm area during the Sweden visit. There was a an interesting discussion and we also got a possibility to use suitable cups.

We really enjoyed the visit and wish to be able to go to New Zealand in the future to see how clematis thrive in a warmer climate.

Looks like it may have been a breakfast visit - I see the waffle and coffee makers. What special visitors and I'm happy we were invited also :)

It does sounds wonderful :) I had to 'Google' Cloudberry. This is a part of what I found :

Cloudberries occur naturally throughout the Northern Hemisphere from 78°N, south to about 55°N, and very scattered south to 44°N mainly in mountainous areas. In Europe and Asia, they grow in the Nordic countries, especially in Finland

Happy times and good tastes :)

They have the advantage they can handle you sit on them without loosing their shape.

Dear Peer
Thanks for your visit. It is always nice to have clematarians as guests. From the other post I have seen that you have visited more interesting places. In 1965 I visited Venice and that was a special place.

Best to you both
Karin and Bengt

Susan, cloudberries are known as mooseberries here because of the muskeg habitat in which they grow. They look like a big juicy yellow raspberry, though grow on a very short little plant. The flavor is very unique and delicious! I very much enjoy them fresh or canned, though have not yet tried them as jam ...
