This post is kind of a throwback to my photo walk. Also it is kind of a recap of yesterday’s Swedish blog where I wrote about how fortunate I feel to be living so close to nature and countryside, even though I live in a big city. I guess one can call this a throwback entry even to my tribute to Elfvik. 🙂 Hey, why not call this a throw back post to make it simple? Anyway, to the point. As I said in my Elfvik tribute, the place carries a lot of childhood memories. One of the favourite things about this place is that there is a stable here with large and vast greenyards for the horses which you pass when you drive here. And if you are lucky, you get to see the horses out and about in those yards, running around, relaxing, eating and having fun. I loved […]
On my photo walk on Sunday in my dear Elfvik, I was out for four and a half hours. It was such a lovely winter day.

When you come home, you have the excitement of downloading all the photos you took into the computer and start editing. I can never wait, I am too curious on how the […]
Time flies by! As I wrote in yesterday’s blog post I have had less time to update the blog during this holiday than when I work. The opposite of what I was expecting. Routines are missing – that is the problem. So I said I have the goal to publish at least one post per day until I go back to work on Monday. In today’s English Tuesday I want to talk about a place that means a lot to me. It is called Elfvik and carries a lot of fond childhood memories in connection with my grandparents. I often went there with them. It reminds me of childhood summers with joy and sunshine and my grandparents – it is a safe and happy place for me. And not to mention very pretty. Ever since I was a child I have loved Elfvik, but as a grown up seldom got there because it […]
