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…
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…
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 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…
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…
Now autumn winds are blowing over Vaxholm and it gets dark earlier and earlier. Quite cozy, if you ask me. After this year’s wonderful sunny summer and beautiful September I now look forward to long autumn walks and then come in, light the fire, and lots of candles and eat good hearty stews and tasty dishes…
It smells of cinnamon in the kitchen. And coffee. It’s Cinnamon Bun Day today, and since I (as always) had yeast at home, I thought it would be fun to swing together a plate or two and surprise the B&B guests. If I know the kids right, they will also be happy when they come…
Freshly baked crispy rolls with cream cheese and jam, and a large cup of freshly brewed coffee … Perhaps not the healthiest start to the day, but why should you be so healthy all the time? Sometimes it’s nice to just to enjoy. And what else are Saturday mornings for? In addition the sun is…
