Ron, our host at Aareavaara in Sweden, has a property and runs a carpentry business on it, employing I’m not sure how many people. They are currently building houses for the new town in Kiruna, about 200kms away from where they are. Like Leigh Creek, the whole town of Kiruna is being moved so that they can mine iron ore where the current town is. So if these guys are getting a piece of the action from so far away, there is probably a lot of work for a lot of people. We visited Kiruna last time we were in Sweden, and it was a large, thriving town with a busy main street and lots of shops. So to move all that, the iron ore reserves must be fantastic!
There also seems to be a lot of agriculture in the area, but all the snow made it hard for us to work out what kind!

It all sounds fun but there must be real people having to do a job of work to make a living just what do they do and how do they do it , Jade is also in the cold she is at the moment up in the Himalayas enjoying herself she keeps in touch with Fay not sure when she is due back.
