HOME SWEDE HOME



I arrived back to S'holm on Thursday night and spent a lovely evening with my daughter and her partner.
Judging by the travel chaos back home in the UK
I am soo glad I changed my flight from Friday to the day before.
As it happened our flight landed in low visibility in a snow storm at 4pm in the afternoon...Stockholm had MASSES of Snow

So now I am...

HOME SWEDE HOME


The view from my front gate...

My 'street'


The Barn


This is the only bit of Christmas decoration so far...



Tomorrow morning at first light...
We are going on a ...Christmas Tree hunt!
This is hubby bringing home the Christmas Tree last year



You can read all about it here

We bought our family ski-pass for the season today.
Our local slopes (3)will open 11am Christmas Day 25th

We just found out a couple of hours ago...
 As there is soo much snow covered on the mountain
Ski-ing is open tomorrow
YIPEE!!

    Neither wonder you wanted to toute-suite it back home! Such a beautiful part of the world and a gorgeous house too. You were right to get out of the UK while the going was good - it`s utter chaos down south and more to come up here in the north too. I hope my son makes it home for Xmas. God Jul to you Julie. x

    Dear Julie,
    That looks so amazing! You live in the most beautiful part of the world.
    We are planning a trip to Sweden next year. As Richard is half Swede and Max has a Swedish passport I feel very connected to the place (although have never been!!!)
    I think it is a lot like NZ, but with more snow!
    Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog. It has been such a pleasure getting to 'know' you. You are one inspiring lady!
    Take care and have a beautiful and blessed Christmas.
    Jo xxx
