Blue sky and my bike

Blue sky in the forest. Summer is coming and the bike has been out for the first time this year. Perfect.

Sunday-muffins

It’s raining a little bit, and the sun is absent – so no working-in-the-garden on this Sunday. The dry leaves will have to wait for warmer times, so instead, I relax and enjoy the day with homemade raspberry muffins with almonds and coconut. Not a bad alternative!

Lunch for a queen

Too bad I can’t transfer taste via a picture, because today, this is what I had for lunch. My man surprised me yet again with his cooking-skills… this is his version of a Mediterranean salad. Life is good in our house.

Coffee and cake by the lake

I could continue for days, adding amazing pictures from our weekend in Athens, but I’ll stop with this one. Not typically Greek really, but I like it nonetheless.

A wall of blue bottles in an Athens-basement

In mid March the whole family went to Athens for a long weekend of good food, sunshine on our winter-noses and relaxing in pleasant company. We returned home to Sweden with smily faces, good memories and a lot of pictures. Here’s one of my favourites: in one of the restaurants where we had [...]

Springflower

Oh the joy of spring-flowers appearing in our garden. Not a lot of them, but pretty indeed.

Flags for fun

Behold: the result of some late-night-creativity, now used to decorate our staircase. And all of a sudden everyday-life is a little bit more joyfull.
