Höbal
Swedish word of the day. Höbal. Also known as a tractor egg. Spoted while cycling past Skönstaholm a few days ago. A rural scene just a couple of kilometers from Stockholm.
Good name tractor egg something we can call them here also but never heard before. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSomething I never see here in the city.
ReplyDeleteA little green lawn with two soccer goals, I sometimes see kids play there, and people walking their dogs. No farms in this area.
DeleteSee them lots over here in Scotland. Love the background of this photo :-D
ReplyDeleteHa. Good word for them. I really like that. Clever Swedes.
ReplyDeleteA familiar sight from growing up.
