Ruth Kvarnström-Jones
Ruth Kvarnström-Jones (född 1962) är född och uppvuxen i Storbritannien, men bor i Stockholm sedan 30 år tillbaka. Lika länge har hon arbetat som copywriter, med allt ifrån tryckt media till webbsidor och slogans i butiksfönster.
Vissa blir franko- eller anglofiler i tonåren. Andra, som Ruth Kvarnström-Jones, snöar in på Sverige.
– Scoutföreningen i byn hade ett utbyte med Karlstadsscouterna och jag drömde om att lära mig svenska. Därför läste jag Scandinavian Studies i London och fick bo i Sverige ett halvt år redan första läsåret. Vilken sommar! Jag la alla pengar på svenska skivor, tidningar och glass.
Framåt hösten tog hon tåget hem med alldeles för mycket bagage – bland annat en hel prinsesstårta – och kunde dessutom tala flytande svenska
