Outside Hammersta slott are a couple of rune stones, one is a modern memorial stone in the style of the ancient stones.

Hammersta Slott is a manor house that is now converted into a spa and sits in a nature reserve, it was too muddy for me to explore too much around.

Väster haninge (Swedish) is a small town at the centre of its commun, served by the Pendletåg from Stockholm central.

I found a car race track on the ice near Nacka, by the time I got there the weather had warmed a little so I didn’t want to risk taking the car out myself.

I went for another explore around Nacka Strand. Noticing this time that it must have been an old car works, with a similar feeling to the old Mini factory in Oxford.

We went to the architecture museum on Skeppsholmen, the boat was making a good subject for photographers.

The lake at Drottningholm was frozen over, but we weren’t brave enough to try walking across it.

We went back to Drottningholm Slott after the recent snowfalls. It makes such a difference to see them covered in snow.
