Here are a few more pictures from our road trip..
Among other things, we went to the little town of Sigtuna, which is one of Sweden’s oldest towns. We also took a trip out to the island of Grinda, in the Stockholm archipelago..
These last couple of weeks have been super busy and I’ve barely found time to even open the computer. It’s been wonderful though, I love spending time with my little nephew and niece and family. I’ll for sure log onto here more when I have school work and need to procrastinate ;). Hubby and I went on a little trip back to Stockholm for a few days to check on our flat and also do some sightseeing which we never get around to otherwise. We took the car and made a road trip out of it. Here are some pictures, if you’d like to see (Andreas stood behind the camera most of the time for once)..
I’ve been keeping my eyes on this bag from etsy for a looong time now. I love how fresh and clean it looks! Someday perhaps ;)
And so the time has come to buy a new suitcase as my old one is literally falling apart. It’s served me well these last five year though. Conveniently, a test was done recently in Swedish magazine “Råd & Rön” (Advice & Findings) on suitcases and one of the suitcases proved much better than the others: Samsonite Aeris Comfort. Hubby and I are interested and will definitely take a look at it!
Now we’re back from Paris and we had the most wonderful time. The weather forecast had threatened with rain and 13 degrees the whole weekend but when we got there it was sunny and warmish (around 20 degrees). It only rained sunday afternoon! I’m pretty obsessed with weather, I worry about it, get annoyed with it and dream about it most of the time (I like it hot and sunny and feel utterly cheated if a summer goes by without it), so needless to say – Sweden isn’t the best country to be living in then.. We’ll move as soon as an opportunity arrives ;) But, back to Paris – we had planned on just taking it easy, strolling around, visiting boulangeries and patisseries and soaking up the atmosphere of the city, and that’s just what we did. We did manage to visit a few of Paris’ landmarks too though, like La Tour Eiffel, Notre Dame (Andreas favourite) and Museé D’Orsay (in which I, unfortunately, was feeling unwell most of the time). I could still appreciate the works of the great impressionists though, which was the main reason to why we went there. I bought a beautiful print by Edgar Degas called “Le foyer de la danse à l’Opéra de la rue Le Peletier“. I’m usually a chocolate person, but I do love fruits and berries also, so while in Paris I had three tartelettes aux fraise.. so yummy (although I couldn’t resist a chocolate one as well!) Here are some pictures of our trip, if you’d like to see..
P.s. I also took the time to visit some French pharmacies (I’m a skincare/cosmetics junkie..) and found some interesting products (this, this, this, this and this) which I’m eager to try out!
YOU PUT THIS LOVE IN MY HEART
