My Saturday was spent visitng a small piece of heaven on earth: a cottage in the woods. The sun was shining, the grass was green, and nature had taken over in more than one sense. Sometimes it should just be left to do it’s magic, like on the side of the barn. More flowers… but it’s impossible to resist when the apple tree decides to show off its white and pink beauty.

Summer is coming and the bike has been out for the first time this year. Perfect. 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! So. To celebrate a special day, we took a walk into the forest, where we sat by the lake and had coffee and homemade carrot cake. Beautiful and good for the soul (and belly). 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.

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