*14 August 2025* A day spent with dear old friends. Leisurely catch up in the morning with **Jan and Ingrid Franzon** on their lovely verandah. I was an usher at their wedding in 1975 ( =50 years ago! am I really so old? ). Jan reads a lot of philosophy and recommended a book I want to get hold of: 'Magnificent Rebels' by Andrea Wulf. ![[02-GNT - 3.jpeg]] Then **Finn Harald Wetterfors** took us out for lunch and then back to his beautiful apartment overlooking lake Runn. ![[02-GNT - 2.jpeg]] What a remarkable 96-year-old - his mind as precise, sharp and perceptive as ever. He gave us a page of extracts from a book by the Swedish monk Wilfred Stinissen. "Plans that come through listening are usually different from those you think out yourself." After supper back with the Franzons we drove down to neighbouring town Borlänge to see their daughter **Kjersti**. She explained how the town is growing culturally to shake off the image of being the poor sister of the better known Falun. ![[02-GNT - Map.jpeg]] << [[The GNT, Day 1 - Säby to Falun]] | [[The GNT, Day 3 - Falun to Skuleberget]] >>
