Things pass and time flies / Saker passerar och tiden flyger

It is a partially cloudy morning in August and we are going out for a small getaway. We take the Green Express bus from Nordstan and get off about 20 minutes later at Råda portar in the municipality of Härryda. From here we walk just over 1 km through a long beautiful avenue, which finally leads us to Råda Manor. The manor has a well preserved historical environment dating back to medieval times. We explore and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and garden. Just nearby Råda Manor is Lake Rådasjön and Råda nature reserve. We decide to walk the 2 km long nature walk around the peninsula called Labbera. Along the walk we learned more about nature through the app Naturfrågan Mölnlycke, fun and educational. It became an amazing walk in beech forest with a detour to visit the ruin that was built in the 19th century. To sum up it was a quiet and lovely trip and we are filled with historical beauty. Just like traveling through time for a short while. And time flies. 🙏

Det är en halvmulen förmiddag i augusti och vi ger oss iväg på en liten utflykt. Vi åker buss Grön Express från Nordstan och går av knappt 20 minuter senare på Råda portar i Härryda kommun. Härifrån promenerar vi drygt 1 km genom en lång vacker allé som slutligen leder oss fram till Råda säteri. Säteriet har en välbevarad historisk miljö med anor från medeltiden. Vi utforskar och njuter av den vackra omgivningen och trädgården. Precis i närheten av Råda säteri ligger Rådasjön och Råda naturreservat. Vi bestämmer oss för att gå den 2 km långa naturstigen runt halvön som kallas Labbera. Längs med stigen lärde vi oss mer om naturen genom appen Naturfrågan Mölnlycke, roligt och lärorikt. Det blev en fantastisk vandring i bokskog med en avstickare för att besöka ruinen som lät byggas på 1800-talet. Sammanfattningsvis var det en tyst och härlig utflykt och vi är påfyllda med historisk skönhet. Som att färdas genom tiden en stund. Och tiden flyger. 🙏

The joy of crochet / Virkglädje

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 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
