As everybody knows, this weekend there was a board meeting and we had the opportunity to have nice chats and "fikas" with some of the board members. We also got some nice vegetables from Bo (BNN)´s garden which made up a tasty and nice lunch (Tack så mycket!!!!). We really appreciated the time spent with the board members. It is always nice to know them a bit better!!!!!!
