Boligliv made me think of Kalle...

On a WINDY and rainy day like this, I want to stay indoor....At least for now!!! Perhaps later I will put on a lot of warm clothes and go for a walk in the wind. Get my body and head full of big, wind gusts.... But........in my warm kitchen I read the new issue of Boligliv. At the end of the magazine I saw, that in February, Boligliv will tell us all about spending holidays in the South of England....

This immediately made me think of my dear friend Kalle. He lives in a small, English village in the South of England, which looks like this......

Kalle has been a friend of mine ever since we started off in school - when we were both 6 years old. We went to school/college together for 13 years.

He is such a wonderful, funny, caring man and I always keep him in my heart.

When ever I see Kalle it only takes a few seconds to "find" each other. Don't you know the feeling with this kind of friends? No awkward, embarrasing silence....

Now we email each other once in a while, but he is so often on my mind.

I had a lovely surprise this Christmas when Kalle all of a sudden showed up at our local grocery store, singing "Fiskerpigens sang". Don't ask - a very weird joke we shared in our youth!!!

And last fall, when Anne-Sophie and I went to England to see where I used to live, we spent a fantastic and funny afternoon with Kalle in London. And hopefully I will see him again this summer. I have been invited to his wedding with Daniel in July.

Kalle has the same edducation as me, and now works for RNIB, an association for blind people. This jobs says so much about the kind of person Kalle is. He really makes a difference - just by being himself......

I feel so lucky and proud to have a friend like him.....
