Ostbricka

A cosy gathering with good friends and wine and cheese from all over the world... some good chats, laughs, and bellies full of cheese, and we all felt quite satisfied. Thank you Dougie and Johanna for en fantastisk ostbricka :-)

Troll Patrol 2

Troll Patrol

A lovely weekend away in the Swedish countryside! We ventured away with the in-laws to a quaint country cottage amongst the apple orchards. Picturesque walks through the mountains, good food and wine, Swedish quiz games and cheering on some crazy Swedes swimming- fun times :-)

The cottage we stayed in was near Ivö lake which is the largest and deepest lake of Scania, Sweden. We went across the lake in the car ferry to visit Ivö Island and saw a beautiful old church and walked through forest where we could really feel the trolls watching us from the shadows!

The trolls were hiding but we found other things to do :-)
