Autumn

Within what felt like the blink of an eye, summer was over and autumn was in a rush to turn into winter. I still can't believe how fast this summer was over and yet how much has happened! I have reached my goal of picking 1l of every berry - blueberries, lingonberries, raspberries, black currants…

Beach time

During the recent heat wave I did not only spend time at the lakes during the nights, but also durin the days to cool down a bit by the water, enjoy the atmosphere and quietness and read a bit in the sun. It felt amazing, especially knowing that the beach had recently been cleaned from…

Little trips

Sometimes during the summer I went on little trips. One more time I went to Västanåfallet and I must say that it is even more beautiful in the light of the sun, surrounded by all the green the forest has to offer. I could even fly a little with my drone. Another time Tom and…
