According to my local supermarket, today is Tulip Day in Sweden. I secretly suspect that this is a way to flog off more overpriced bunches of tulips as I could find no other reference to it anywhere else on the web or around town.

Would they lie to me?




Who knows. But just in case it's true, I came home with some tulips to brighten up my day. So do you think that Tulip Day in the middle of January in Sweden is a fake? Yeah, me too, but what a great excuse to treat myself to a splash of spring.




Gosh that sunshine makes a difference!

I love tulips, so I didn't mind being conned. And funnily enough they were 29.90 and not the 39.90 that they were advertised. They really brighten up a January day beautifully.

Lars-Göran said they had ads about it in another shop window in town, so maybe it's just a Nynäshamn thing. It would be more appropriate in May I would have thought. My ever cynical husband thinks that Konsum just ordered too many truckloads of tulips from Holland.
