It’s Ingrid’s last day of work at the Spånga Konditori pastry shop. We managed to time a quiet moment when I could join her for a last fika with the employee discount – and try out the current ice cream flavours. (I got black cherry, and chocolate with blood orange.)

In September, she’ll be starting a four-month internship. It’s partly a time-filler: the real next step in Ingrid’s life will be fifteen months of military service, starting in March. But for now, she has a month of summer vacation to look forward to.
