Our Swedish friends have just left by train. We managed to show them quite a bit of this part of Dorset in the course of a long weekend.
Jan Henrik Swahn is a noted novelist. He is also a translator of poets and novelists from many languages into Swedish.

Dr Rea Ann-Margaret Mellberg is Cultural Counsellor at the Greek Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden; she is also a distinguished writer and translator.
We managed to fit in a Thomas Hardy Society "Far From The Madding Crowd" Birthday Weekend Walk, which included a visit to Waterston Manor; visits to two Dorset Art Weeks venues, including an exhibition at Sladers Yard, West Bay, and Litton Cheney, to see the work of Lisa Lindqvist.
Weymouth, Portland, Burton Bradstock, Bridport, Cerne Abbas, Puddletown, Dorchester, Poundbury, Maiden Castle.
They really got a good feel for the landscape and the English seaside.
