I met this group of pensioners in Handen on Monday. They all live at Lärkträdet, a housing cooperative, which consists of seven apartment buildings overlooking Lake Rudan. They were playing a game of boules, and I decided to shoot some photos of the action! The people you see here are in no particular order, Jochen, Inga-Britt,Gun, Ingegerd and Valle. We talked a bit about the game and I gave them one of my moo cards.

ReplyDeleteGood for them. I'ts good that they get outside and remain active. I'd keep my eyes open though. Wouldn't want to get bonked by a stray ball.
ReplyDeleteSo I see your Moo cards do indeed work for you! Thank you for your information on the cards, I appreciate you taking the time.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of that game before.
ReplyDeleteIt's a popular sport.

It looks like they are having fun! Someone gave me a set of those for Christmas once, but I never quite got around to playing.
ReplyDeleteIt's supposed to be a laid back kind of game. Never tried it. Have you?
ReplyDeleteI have played boccia of course, but never boule. I remember watching some on a visit to Paris. Back then it was a new game to me and very French.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a lot of fun! I guess some of my relatives in Norrland play it, too! Seems to be a good game for friends of all ages!
