Sweden Day 2018
As the Swedish National Day falls on the 6th of June, it makes it rather difficult to celebrate it here in the sandpit, temperatures being way too high at that time of the year.
Instead I got an invitation for last night, to celebrate 'Sweden Day - Innovative Sweden' at the Residence of the Swedish Ambassador. This was an event made possible thanks to a long list of corporate partners such as IKEA, Saab, Volvo and Ericsson to name a few.
It was the biggest event I have ever attended at the Residence. Upon arriving there was Volvo trucks and cars parked for display out the front, and there was a blue (but of course!) carpet to walk into the back garden. I matched beautifully with my royal blue blouse and yellow Hollie Woods clogs:
There was some speeches, both from the Ambassador, but also from the corporate partners and from the guest of honour - the Minister of State for Food Security HE Maryam bint Mohammed Al Mehairi. She had just returned from a trip to Sweden, where she had been discussing enhancing cooperations in innovations in food technology, as Sweden is at the forefront of supporting environmental sustainability and food innovation.
We were also treated to some live Swedish entertainment, and delicious Swedish food; and we even got a little Swedish goodie bag when we left, filled with Swedish souvenirs.
