A courtyard from the past

Another picture form yesterday: an inner courtyard full of atmosphere, red wood and a few late-season flowers. It really is like a left-over place from old times.

Falu-red colour match

Today, I was in the “big city” and took lots of pictures of the old Swedish woodwork. This tree seems to match the classic Falu-red of the house. High-level colour-coorporation.

Red currant jelly

Today’s production in the kitchen: 4 small glasses of red currant jelly. Am quite proud of the fact that the consistency actually *is* like jelly – all wobbly and see through – and it’s my very first batch!

The perfect end-of-the-week-treat

My idea of a superb way to celebrate a Sunday evening: fudgy chocolate/coffee cake served with vanilla ice cream. Match this with rain, candles and a movie. I shall not complain.

Apples in a hat

A shed full of winter-warmth

I don’t mind the thought of a long cold winter when we have a garden shed stacked full of wood and logs… and a fireplace in the livingroom. In fact, I can’t wait for the snow to fall – and the hot chocolate to be poured.

A perfect October Sunday

Waking up late to hugs and smiles. Enjoying coffee with milk, whilst listening to jazz, and watching the sun make patterns on my wall. A perfect Sunday in October.
