Nobel parken

Nobel parken
Today was a day to explore the archipelago, we thought. But when we turned up at the boat terminal with our packed picnic, we discovered that the season would not start for another two weeks...True enough, the water was still icy only a fortnight ago...

Saturday sun fever

Saturday sun fever
We had to go on a few errands in Vasastan and ended up having our first improvised picnic-lunch of the season in a nearby park. The sun was high and warm, almost unbelievably hot compared to the snow showers we were coping with only a couple of weeks...

By the lakes

By the lakes
Could spring be here? A few signs, undoubtedly: crocuses, snow-drops, (almost) no ice on the lakes in Stora Skuggan...We paid a visit to the farm to see if we could stroke a couple of bouncy lambs - indeed three little baby lambs were just born the previous...

On the way back from school this week, Otto expressed his desire to look at the bright pot of daffodils sitting outside the hairdresser's shop. He sat there and paid his own special tribute to a still timid spring...Indeed, it is still chilly out here...

Still water and ice

Still water and ice
Last week was busy but better than the one even before, which was simply manic with tons of work combined with the prospect of organising Lili's birthday party - 16 children aged between 2 and 8 under one roof...a bit of preparation was necessary, for...

Winter spring

Winter spring
There is actually a word in Swedish to describe a day like today, when all the signs of winter are still present - snow, freezing temperatures, icy paths - but spring is also making itself felt in the light, the (relative) warmth in the sun, the birds...

Lili, Lola and Lauren

Lili, Lola and Lauren
Charlie and Lola, Lauren Child's (what a great name for a children's book illustrator!) famous characters are one of our favourites! We all love them, in books, films or exhibitions. Lili is so inspired by them that her own drawings have started to look...

Pics, boats and cakes

Pics, boats and cakes
Today we paid our first visit to Fotografiska, Stockholm's "new" photo gallery - it opened last year but has always been so busy that we had so far not been too tempted to join the queues to get in. The best part of our visit was the view, as the gallery...
