It’s beautiful high summer days. The B & B guests have taken the Waxholm boat to Hjälmö island and sends inspiring pictures while I am taking care of the plants and redecorate a bit in the greenhouse. Zack (our youngest son) is chilling with a book and a glass of lemonade with ice in the…
It smells of cinnamon buns. Yesterday I had a baking workshop here in the B & B kitchen and this morning when I got up to bake the guests’ breakfast bread the smell was still left. The baking workshops are one of this summer’s news here at the B & B. Yesterday, we ended up with both…
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…
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,…
Ha ha! I barely had written that there was a feeling of March in my New Year’s posts until winter did come back and confirmed that it certainly is January. Right now, the snow is whipping on the windows and the wind howls around the corner … Actually, I had planned to go to Stockholm for some meetings today, but…
Have you seen Vaxholms Bed & Breakfast in the latest issue of the country life magazine Lantliv? Our house and part of the accomodation that we call “the Artist’s Studio” was location for their big christmas fashion editorial. There might have been one or another occasional passerby that thought we were about to move when they saw all…
Now it’s really dark out there when it’s time to get up in the morning to bake bread for the guests breakfast baskets. I admit that it tends to be a little tough to get out of bed. But if I’ve just come down the stairs, I usually get started. I light all the candles, turn on…
