lund; it's a love story.

i was just gone for ten days, and i found myself missing lund so much. when i got back, i realised my friends who were away on long trips felt the same way too!

it's hard to believe how lund has managed to win our hearts without us even realising. this little town, so humble, quiet and unassuming. for a tourist, there is almost nothing to do, well, except for the cathedral (which i haven't even gone into before). but to live and study here, it's really kind of nice. here, we were quietly shielded from the coldest of the swedish winter, and here, we experience generous sunshine. it gets windy sometimes because it's near the sea, but that's still bearable. life is idyllic, it's common to see people just lie in the park, enjoying the sun, or sitting in the square doing nothing. there's so much time to spend in retrospection, or just soaking up life. everything's so quiet here, we get blessings without even knowing. the little flowers speckled along the green grass, they crept up while we weren't looking. the summer sun, it came while we were away. and the soft sing-song of the swedish people talking as you walk past them on the streets, compared to the loud excited chatter of the english people. things that we take for granted. i'm just glad i'm back :)
