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…
Right now I’m so tired that I can hardly think. But satisfied and happy. I have been down at the annual, old fashioned, archipelago market by the quai all day and sold our products with Vaxholm design and other nice stuff from our online store thebedandbreakfastshop.se . In addition to a lovely weather and lots of people it was…
Monday morning, the time is just after eight and I’ve returned after delivering this morning’s freshly baked breakfast bread to our guests in the Seapilot’s Cottage. A couple of Vaxholmers hurried to catch the morning boat (it’s the first day after the holiday for many today), and at the Boulangerie some early morning guests drank…
A couple of times each Summer Jesper and Vigo go “fish tenting”. It is just what it sounds like – they fish and stay overnight in a tent. This weekend it was time again. Right before lunch they took our boat to one of their favourite islands, a little less than an hour from here. It’s an…
Sometimes it is good to be the guest yourself to feel for what you appreciate, and what can be done better. Therefore, Jesper and I occasionally go away to other B & Bs and guest houses to be inspired. On Monday we joined business with pleasure. The children were going to a weeklong skateboard camp in…
We have lovely summer days. Guests check in and out. Some spend the days here in Vaxholm, others make day trips by Waxholm boat to Möja, Sandhamn, Finnhamn, Svartsö, Grinda, or any of the other islands that are easy to get to by boat. Vaxholm is a hub for the archipelago boats and almost all boats…
No wonder I did a little happy dance in the kitchen when reading Dagens Nyheter (DN), one of Sweden’s largest newspapers, on the midsummer morning. They had made a Stockholm Archipelago Special where they recommended islands and places not to miss on this Summer’s archipelago trip. Vaxholm was on the list, on top of that they wrote: “Classic Vaxholm Bed…
It is raining today. Not a sweet summer rain, it rather pours down from the sky. One of those days when you would rather stay in bed and read all day, you know. But also a perfect day to visit the The Vaxholm Fortress Museum at the Citadel and then take an Afternoon tea with scones,…
