Friday and pinch day, in the most beautiful time I know. When the fruit trees and bird cherry are blooming and the lilies are just striking out. Today, there is a day in the garden. This spring, when it was snowing as late as now in May, everything has really said ”poff”. Not that I mind…
Every now and then I happen to take care of journalists coming to Vaxholm. Now this week there was such an opportunity. A journalist and photographer from the French newspaper Le Monde wanted to make a report from the archipelago of Stockholm to tell their readers what to experience here. Together with the Stockholm Archipelago…
There’s a lot going on here at B & B right now. As always, when it’s spring, there’s a lot that shall be done. Outdoor furniture should be painted, seeds put and new ideas implemented. Such a news is that from summer we will not only offer accommodation and breakfast. We will also expand with…
My beloved husband and I have slightly different recipes for a successful Saturday night. Right now he is in the kitchen, cooking dinner, while I have picked up punches, leather, hammer and awl to make new keychains to B & B. Both equally happy. He loves to cook, and I – I love to craft…
Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday, the last day before Lent, which according to the Christian tradition shall precede Easter. A sign of spring as good as any. Not that I fast – luckily enough one can choose which traditions to follow, and fasting isn’t quite my cup of tea – but isn’t it wonderful to know…
This morning I awoke to the sun stabbing me in the eyes. At first I thought I had slept away half the day – when was the last time that the sun stood so high when I woke up? – but then I realized that it was actually only just before nine o’clock – what a glorious feeling!…
Right now I’m sitting in a hotel in Gothenburg, gathers impressions from yesterday, and prepares for the today’s exploits. For two whole days I have the luxury and good fortune to attend a private baking class at home of the food writer and inspirer Birgit Nilsson Bergström. Birgit also operates Hembakningsrådet and has written…
Right now I kind of wish this was a fragrant blog, then I would be able to convey the aroma of coffee and freshly baked rolls that is currently spreading throughout the house. As many of you know, I bake almost all breakfast bread to the B&B-guests. I write almost, because sometimes I get a little lazy…
In just one week is Valentine’s Day. I’m not really a big of all those fabricated days – Cinnamon Bun Day, international popcorn-day, bracelet clock day and whatever they are called. It has been inflation in them. Soon, almost every date in the calendar has own “day” if not two. But on the other hand,…
I think I just might have gone record in sneezing this weekend. The eyes have flowed constantly, the nose has been stuffy and my head felt like a ball. In other words a real classic sold. At the same time we have been almost fully booked in B&B. Not quite a perfect situation perhaps… Good thing…
