2 years ago today, I was sitting in a rented transporter with my Dad, driving the second half of our trip from Neuss, Germany to Östergraninge, Sweden. We had slept in a hotel in Jönköping and were driving through dense fog towards Stockholm, where the sun was breaking through the clouds, letting frost sparkle everywhere.…
The mornings are increasingly beautiful now, as it freezes more and more often. We sadly hardly ever have fog in Östergraninge, but all around the village are places where it is often foggy on cold mornings. One morning I was really longing to take some photos, so I went out and first checked with my…
Back in Sweden, I was stressed from the visit to Germany. Even though it had been fun to meet everyone, I wasn't used to the hectic and rush anymore, that automatically comes with so many people in one place. That stressed me additionally to not being able to meet all of the wonderful people I…
As some of you may already have heard, I recently got a cat. I got her right on the day we came back from our journey to Germany and it has been pure joy so far! She is my first cat ever. I have always wanted one and always loved cats, but in the past…

A neighbor I recently talked to gave me the advice to check out the other shore of the nearby lake Grössjön. So I did. I went there with my drone so I could take pictures from many different angles. I hadn't used my drone in such a long time and I was so glad to…
After days of darkness the sun finally came back. Of course I had an incredible urge to go out into nature and just enjoy the mild winds and soft warm sunbeams on my face. All trees are exploding in different shades of green and I am amazed to watch it. Soon there will be now…
I finally got to visit the hanging bridge in Bispgården. It was just a small trip but definitely a place I will come back to!We only went for a small walk and thought we should go there. The view around was beautiful, even though it was a dark and cloudy day. The water was flowing…
Needless to say, language is incredibly important. And of course so is knowing the language of the country you live in. So this blogpost will be about how I am doing with learning Swedish. All my life, I have always enjoyed learning languages. In school I have learned Latin, English, French, Spanish and after school…
