Dear Frank,

 Yes, very much so. It's for good reason called the Island of
Roses (Gotland is built on lime stone in contrast to the rest of
Sweden) and it is surrounded by water that never freezes. It is
the number one vacationland in Sweden. You'll find it right to the
east of Vastergötland in south-central Sweden. 

 As everyone who ever visited this great island can testify, this
is "lamb" territory. There are "lamba-gardi" erected in the south
of the island in ancient style as part of their cultural heritage.
Yes, they still use "lamb", so Gotish) 
for sheep!

 Scotland+North England are roughly co-latitudinal with Denmark
and South Sweden.
There are more Swedes living there than there are Danes I think.

 Why don't you invest in a map :^))

Fåraktligen (sheepishly)

Seigmund
