I was hungry way before getting there but with the temperature being what it was, I really didn&#8217;t feel like sitting down in the shade somewhere. Knowing that, if nothing better came up, I&#8217;d have this spot at least, I kept going. The picnic table was perfectly positioned to get some sun on it. Nevertheless I ate as quickly as I could because it felt like my fingers were going to turn into icicles, despite thick gloves. Mittens are the only thing that really keep my hands warm but eating with them on is inconvenient. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_4\/3596_Signaturled_Stockholm_5.jpg\" class=\"x6y45\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The golf course towards the end of the trail was, like the rest of the trail, the same but not the same. Last year it was desolate in mist.
