I usually do not promise much for the year to come. If something has to be done, I guess one should just do it. Or it was not meant to be done. But if I would promise myself something, then it has to be to continue to throw myself head over feet into things I feel for. And sometimes to … Read More
This is it.
Happy holiday you all. I am going back to reality now.
I know it is not very original to post pictures from snowy landscapes on your blog these days. Therefore I tried to convince the boys to allow me to take pictures of them when they were jumping in the snow after we did sauna last night.

It is the coldest December since 1700 in Småland. We are of course all very happy to experience this. —————————— normally you would see the ocean here.

Just like Christmas should be. It is real countryside with bad autobahn connections to the rest of the world. This is where the Germans like … Read More
In 6 months is it Midsummer
In case you miss the summer, this might cheer you up. Personally I am really enjoying the snow and my family right now. But I can’t help thinking about this day. The most magic day of the year. This was last summer. ————————————– The flowers that were supposed to show me the man of my life. Well Lady, things just … Read More
