Hello from our little cabin on the south coast of Sweden!
We’re fully leaning into the autumn vibes here. Our garden is full of wild toadstools at the moment. Sadly, they’re not edible (many are poisonous) but they certainly look pretty!
W’ve also been enjoying one of Sweden’s traditional cakes, prinsesstårta (princess cake). This time, autumn-themed, with blue marzipan instead of the usual green and with some blueberries mixed into the cream filling. Delicious!
We’ve been stocking up on petrol and coffee too, crazy savings on those. Foodstuffs in general are cheaper here – a good excuse to buy a small selection of cheese and biscuits to accompany our gin and tonic and ubiquitous game of Rummikub!
And, of course, there have been plenty of walks by the sea. My happy place. I could listen to the sound of the waves for hours. So relaxing!
A spot of gardening too, mowing the lawn and keeping an eye peeled for our cute red squirrels who love to play in our birch trees!
The best part? Our little Swedish escape is just an hour’s drive (crossing the Oresund bridge) from our home in Copenhagen, door to door.
Hope you’re all still enjoying the autumn season! With Halloween coming up this weekend, I’m sure there’ll be some high jinks with my Copenhagen Bluetits swimming gang. I’ll keep you posted!
Have a fabulous day wherever you are in the world !
