Birthday sheep

Birthday sheep
Today we celebrated Poppy's birthday! 9 years! This jolly occasion coincided with Ekerö's Fårdagen - the Day of the Sheep - at Ekebyhovsparken, where we enjoyed a lovely afternoon, meeting sheep and watching shearing and sheepdog training. Fun, especially...

Lovö

Lovö
Ekerö is an island, surrounded by a lot of other islands! Today we walked around Lovö, not so far from Drottningholm, but away from the visitors to the Royal castle. In fact we hardly met anyone, but rambled through woods, fields, up and down big rocks,...

Sunset in Ekerö

Sunset in Ekerö
We are so lucky with the weather! Almost three weeks in Ekerö, and not a day without sun and blue sky! Every day ends with a beuatiful sunset, and sometimes we have been tempted to go out gain after dinner, to walk along the water and feed the ducks....

Wild flowers

Wild flowers
After the berries, the flowers. We only had to walk a few minutes to find ourselves by the wheat field and along the woods - near Ekerö's giant, which Grand-Mère was keen to see. A nice opportunity to pick some beautiful wild flowers, a lot of camomile...

Berries galore

Berries galore
As they were paying a visit to our site last week, Pete, Lili and Otto noticed that there were still a lot of berries needing picking amongst the tall grass. So today, together with Grand-Mère, we went back, equipped with adequate containers, to gather...

Woods, blueberries and beach

Woods, blueberries and beach
After a busy week - most of us going back to work or school, we deserved a bit of an escapade, to do something different but also to enjoy the beautiful summer weather. So we headed for the south of our island, going through woods - a great opportunity...

A little dip

A little dip
We still have a lot to do in terms of putting up shelves, sorting out bits and pieces in our flat, but we managed to all go out for a short walk nearby. We discovered a tiny beach where Otto absolutely wanted to swim, so he did! Lili and Pete had a quick...

Nearby

Nearby
A few views from around our new home: fluffly signets and their parents on the canal, the wooden climbing-frame-dragon and a spectacular evening sky spotted from our balcony. All nice things to welcome us to Ekerö :-)

Ekerö's giant

Ekerö's giant
More about the tree featured yesterday - completely by chance, we have discovered that the big oak standing in the field nearby is actually a celebrity! It turns out that this majestic tree is Sweden's largest living oak ( estimated 84 cubic meters, apparently),...

Somewhere else

Somewhere else
First walk since our move - Lili, Poppy, Otto and I had to get away from the removal boxes and DIY tools while Pete was putting shelves up. It felt really nice to be able to wander in the fields and through the woods, 5 mn from home. We found insects,...
