It’s a bit slower here at B & B now when I’m on crutches. The healing of the muscles after my hip joint surgery needs its time and I spend the days mixing between resting, and handling bookings in the computer. So much practical work can’t be done though, since I can neither lift nor bend, and then those crutches that I…
We’re back at home. As always, it has been great fun and inspiring to be away, but still … how nice it is to come home! To the house, to Vaxholm, to the archipelago and to the B & B. What luck it is to feel like that! That the place where you really love to be…
I can’t believe how fast this summer went. It feels like yesterday it was June and now it’s already October. Guests have checked in and out and I have baked, baked and baked. Breakfast bread and cinnamon rolls, and breakfast bread again. For the B&B and together with B&B guests and others who have wanted…
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…
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…
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…
We have been away for a few days. All last week we were in Åre and fuelled inspiration and energy. Jesper and the guys went snowboarding on the slopes and I worked. Walked around and looked at how the Åre entrepreneurs are working to present their offers and meeting the visitors in the best way. And so…
The first day of 2017 here in Vaxholm was a lovely spring day. The sun shone and even warmed a tiny little bit. If I did not know better I would have thought it was the beginning of March and not January 1. When the B&B guests had checked out, we took a long walk…
