I arrived back from London to Stockholm on Thursday
Spent an evening with my beautiful big girly
and then headed back to
Home Swede Home
Although I am not quiet sure which one is home now...
Since middle of August we have been living in our pied a terre
It sounds grand... but it's not.
It's a 70m square apartment in town
that we live in during the week...
We do this so that our eldest son doesn't have to commute 1 hour each way to the Gymnasiet, that he attends in town.
We were very happy that he was offered and accepted
a place on the
International Baccleaureate programme (IB)
In Scandinavia it is a 3 year programme
The first year is pre-IB
Anyhow I digress
This morning we left town and headed to our Yellow House in the middle of nowhere
It's so mild here in Sweden we are enjoying a loooong Autumn too.
No snow...yet!
But it didn't stop me getting cosy and enjoying lighting my candles
Have a wonderful weekend!
Ha en trevlig helg !
Children are one of lifes truth blessing ;-) Enjoy your sunday, dee x
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to have to split between two places, especially in the winter when one wants to NEST :-} Your son sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a knack for gymnastics too, seems like another life now.

Very good that your son is taking the IB! My husband (until we moved to this school) has been both an IB- coordinator, and an accreditation team member and a teacher of course. An excellent program! :-)
ReplyDeleteIn fact, he worked at the IB school in Sigtuna, SSHL! (in the early 90's, ages ago...)
Hi Julie,
ReplyDeleteIt must be strange having two houses to live in. Your apartment looks very cosy! Your son is very lucky to have such sweet parents.
Have a lovely new week,

Such a pretty photograph. The candles lit at dusk....such a calming time of day. A perfect combination, dusk and candle light.

Have just 'found' your blog from Happy Homemaker UK, what an interesting, pretty blog! And another expat? :)
ReplyDeleteI too find candles very relaxing, wow congrats on your son. What a beautiful Mother you are it's these special moments that fill our life with love from our children. Have a wonderful day my friend.

That looks so cosy! I live in Ireland for 12 years before I moved to Denamrk and the one thing I missed the most from Sweden, apart from Swedish new potatoes, was the snow!
ReplyDeleteTrevlig helg!
Dear Julie,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed hearing from you again! It's been too long :-) I miss your posts!
I am happy your holiday in Majorca did you well. It's important to take a rest now and then, give your feelings a place in your heart and regain energy. I must be so hard being sad and supporting your dad at the same time. It's a good thing he is coming over to Sweden for Christmas. You will give each other strength!
How is your teashop doing? I hope all is well and you are still enjoying it!
Take care Julie!
Veel liefs and a big hug,
Madelief x
