The Islet

Well, we've had a great couple of days in the archipelago! Good company and good... everything :) Pictures are: The cottage we stayed in, evening light, detail 1, the family Swan, old harbour at Oxelösund, J wakeboarding, house at gorgeous location just by a canal, detail 2.

While the blog stands still, I do not! :) We took off yesterday and headed out to an island in the archipelago. Specifically the archipelago outside of the Swedish village Oxelösund. Beautiful. The picture is yesterday's sunset :) Outside the window, J and his brothers and cousins are wakeboarding. We'll stay another night and then head back home tomorrow. See you then!

This past Friday I had a (very well-needed) day off work. As J had work to do all day, I called mum to check if she was home, then hopped on the first best bus and went "home" to Stavsjö. Once there, we had a nice long brunch and then went out for a long walk. We went to a lake called Virlången, and on the trail along the shore, we found yellow chanterelles. The first ones of the season, and a lot of it, too. Love it! :) Yum! Naturally, a fika followed the walk. Hot tea, blueberry smoothie and also I brought rhubarb semifreddo. Mum loved it (dad too, when he got home from work in the evening). The pictures:

Precious mum! :) The chanterelles and the fika.

Gorgeous scenery, hey? :)

The light was so beautiful today

Arrow: That's the building I live in :)

I had to shoot some pictures of my beautiful city, Norrköping. (As I think I happened to promise about 7 months ago...) Spring came and nature exploded! :) Love it! I'm really soaking up every last bit of sunshine I can get a hold of. I'm going to save it for harder days, I say. Experience tells me it doesn't work like that. Unfortunately. Ha!

So anyways, a stroll along the riverside is definitely a hit! :)

Wood Anemone

I picked this year's first wood anemones yesterday! :) (Sounds like such a fancy flower in English... like it!) Right now they are decorating our kitchen table (and fridge at night, to make them last longer, haha!)

Pictures: Me

I found them while being on a picnic with J. We know the most lovely spot with water, a beach and sunshine all day. So we went there, and I, taking my previous note to self very seriously, suggested we bring a picnic as well. Unfortunately, the camera died before I even got one photo so there's no pictures of this fantastic afternoon. But no worries, this will happen again! :)

I like this, H&M. :) I want my summer to be like this. Note to self: Have a great, lovely summer, and make the most of it.

Lake trip #01

Joel and I took a lovely, well-needed trip to a lake nearby. The weather was so fine, we just couldn't stay inside or in the city even. We only had time to stay for about an hour but it was oh so worth it! Here's some pictures!

Pictures: Mine

There will probably be lots of trips around to lakes and some camping 'n stuff and so now there's a new category: trips'n camping.

Whatta lotta watta

Wow.

The chase for the perfect bikini has now officially begun

Swedish Åhléns have done real good advertisement this spring. I want the bikini pictured on the first of the following images... Love the stripes! Oh, and the colours.

Tell me, where can I find this?

Not that this is even applicable in Sweden but in like Australia where everybody buys bottled water because the water from the tap is undrinkable... this should absolutely be an option.
