The silent whisper / Den tysta viskningen

Today I visited The Garden Society in the heart of Gothenburg. A historic park with lots to experience but also for those who want to relax. Today is a windy day, but if you lie in shelter of a tree you can listen and enjoy the wind that whistles through trees and branches. There is something special about lying in the grass and watching the sky. Just think if one did that more often. There is not much going on there in the sky. I look at the clouds that pass and feel the sun in my face. This is my moment. 🙏

Idag besökte jag TrĂ€dgĂ„rdsföreningen i hjĂ€rtat av Göteborg. En historisk park med mycket att uppleva men Ă€ven för den som vill koppla av. Idag Ă€r en blĂ„sig dag men lĂ€gger man sig i lĂ€ vid ett trĂ€d kan man fĂ„ lyssna och njuta av vinden som viner genom trĂ€d och grenar. Det Ă€r nĂ„got speciellt med att ligga i grĂ€set och titta pĂ„ himlen. TĂ€nk att man inte gjort det oftare. Det pĂ„gĂ„r inte sĂ„ mycket dĂ€r uppe pĂ„ himmelen. Jag tittar pĂ„ moln som passerar och kĂ€nner solen i mitt ansikte. Detta Ă€r min stund. 🙏

The joy of crochet / VirkglÀdje

Image
If someone would have told me a few years ago that someday I would start to crochet, I would never have believed them. I never really understood how people could find book reading or handcraft so relaxing, but I did envy them for it. I was more of the training type of person. But, you should never say never and not stop learning more about yourself. You can have more aptitudes then you realise. They can be well hidden and never tried. So this Christmas, after becoming interested, I was taught to crochet and I have been hooked 😊 ever since. I continued on my own with help from Youtube clips. They make it easy to just stop and try yourself at your own speed. I have since then crocheted granny squares and flowers and other techniques and I'm still appreciating the fun of being more creative. Crochet is so much more than a hobby. It is pure mindfulness. It has something to do with using your hands, just like cooking and gardening. You become calm and focused. I even heard that crochet

Enjoy the little things / Njut av de smÄ sakerna

Just think that it is so easy to long to be far away, even though you have so much beauty to explore nearby. I have lately discovered the islands around Gothenburg. Recently we went to Asperö where I have never been before. Asperö is an island in Gothenburg's southern archipelago where about 400 inhabitants live. A smaller island that I think is sometimes passed by as many instead travel to the larger islands of the archipelago. We traveled from Saltholmen boat terminal to Asperö Östra (Eastern Asperö) which is the first stop with the ferry. It only takes about 10 minutes. You can now also take ferries to the southern archipelago from Stenpiren Travel Centre. Once on the island it is quiet, there are not a lot of people and everything is very close so you do not have to walk very far. We took with us salads from the mainland and we ate these for lunch by the boat harbour. After this we walked to the small shop to buy ice cream and drinks. We decided to walk up to the top of the vie

Beautiful in every way / Vackert pÄ alla sÀtt

Sometimes you get days that are beautiful in every way. Such happiness it is to experience a Sunday in September while the summer is still around. A perfect day for a small trip. We have decided to visit Gunnebo House and Gardens that with bus from Gothenburg takes about 15 minutes to reach. As I enter the Gunnebo House environment, I immediately get a wow-feeling. Here it is beautiful like a dream and there is so much to look at of this 17th century property, which is well preserved and well maintained. I smell the lavender on our way up to the House, the lovely smell of lavender is hard to beat. In the southern garden we sit down and enjoy the sun, the surroundings and our bag of tea and fruit. After that we take a walk around Gunnebo cultural reserve and watch the cows as they rest in the shade. On our way back we walk around the kitchen garden next to Gunnebo Coffee House and Restaurant, here grows vegetables, herbs and flowers among other things. The tomatoes smell just as good
