Those who get lost find new ways / De som går vilse hittar nya vägar

If you get lost while seeking, you may find something new. Something that you may not be looking for can suddenly appear in front of you. The Water Lilly Pond in Renström Park can be such a place. The risk of running into the park is not that great if you do not already know where it is. At the top of Götaplatsen behind the Museum of Art one can find this park, which was built in 1923. As mentioned by name, there are plenty of water lilies, but also lots of green areas and park benches right next to the dam where one can have a mindful moment of peace. 🙏

Om man går vilse i ett sökande kan man råka hitta något nytt. Något man kanske inte letade efter kan plötsligt uppenbara sig framför en. Näckrosdammen i Renströmsparken kan vara en sådan plats. Risken att springa på parken är inte så stor om man inte redan vet vart den finns. Längst upp på Götaplatsen bakom Konstmuseet kan man hitta denna park som anlades år 1923. Som på namnet hörs finns här stora mängder näckrosor men också gott om gräsytor och parkbänkar precis i anslutning till dammen där man kan slå sig ner för en närvarande lugn stund. 🙏

The joy of crochet / Virkglädje

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 små 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 på alla sätt

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
