Finally, the spring is here. The birds are singing and nesting in our bird houses.   

We have got some really warm and sunny spring days allready. In the pots I have planted the first spring flowes. 

We like to ‘clean away’ the winter, and give the spring a helping hand. Away with authumn leaves and grass. Under the leaves, we can find the new green spring buds. 

In two weeks, we celebrate Easter, and a week before, begin our lovely season at Slamrekullen. It will be so exciting to welcome new and old guests this year. But first we’ll be finished with our holiday.

Send our dear greetings from sunny Florida.

more ”tips on trips” in our information binder.

The summer is here soon (I hope) and we have noticed that many of our guests sometimes wish to go on longer day trips. Therefore, I have added some of our own favorites. Here I show some of them.

I start with my sisters favorite – Marstrand, distance 2 hours, ca 150 km.

(www.marstrand.se)

Another wonderful place is Smögen. But then you have to drive another hour 😉

Marstrand and Smögen is two wonderful places in summertime (not in wintertime).

In Småland (distance 200 km, 2,5 hours) is our ”Crystal glass kingdom”. The two famous ones, is Kosta and Orrefors. Shop and sales and glassblowing.

If you want to be sure to meet a moose……..

In our forest there are elks, but they does not appear so often. Then you can visit Laganland! (Distance 120 km, 1,5 hour).

A trip to IKEA a rainy day? Always a good idea! Or mabye a ride with lovely island horses on the beach? (www.toltivast.se)

We have made a photobook to Uthuset!

Many of our guests, vistit us in the summer time, like to see how it looks in wintertime.

And our winter guests like to see how it looks in the summer…….

Now we have collected many pictures from all the seasons in one book.

Some days now, we got low temperatures and some snow. Not much, but enough for plowing.

We like snow at Slamrekullen. It becomes so light and bright in the forest. Then we don´t need any streetlights – anyway – there is no streetlights on our road 😉

Sunday morning, I was out in – 8° and took some pichtures until my fingers froze – brrrrrrr

New years Eve today, soon it´s a new year – 2017

We should celebrate the new year with our dear neighbors at Mossahägnad.

Now, at the last hours of the year, we would like to thank all our guests. So many nice and friendly people we have faced! Welcome back!

And to our comming guests, we will wish you a warm welcome.

Have a wonderfull New Year, and we hope to see you in 2017!

Dear greetings from Lotta & Ronny.

Merry Christmas!

Autumn is ”shopping time” in Ullared.

The big yellow store (Gekås) is crowded with shoppers every day. It´s high season now before Christmas. Millions of presents purchase there. And there´s really many things to buy.

In Slamrekullen we got shopping guests in our ”uthus” every week. It takes only 10 minutes from our peaceful place, to Gekås ”the shopping Mecca”, crowded with people.

After a long shoppingday, it´s nice to come home to Slamrekullen, light the fireplace, fix some food, drink some wine and perhaps try your purchases in the long mirror. We want our guests to feel at home, and enjoy the stay with us.

Have a wonderful autumn

It seems we`ll skip the autumn!

The summer will never stop! But we can see in the nature – it´s not summer anymore. And the evenings get darker and darker, and colder! Not until this week, we and our guests in the cottage start to light the fireplaces. So, therefore I say – the ”fireplace time” is here!

The warm colors in the natrue is so beautiful. I´m out and take a lot of pictures wery often. Ronny works with the woodpile, and I have start to look for fine Christmas trees in the forest 😉 Yes, I´m early, but it´s nice to know were the finest grows.

In the cottage we have guests, from Denmark, Seweden and Germany. The Danes and the Swedes want most to shop at Gekås. (Many get quite superised when they read in our information binder – there is so much else to see and do nearby.)

Welcome to Slamrekullen in the autumn and winter!

We nerver know when the winter and snow arrives. It feels pretty distant right now, with this higt temperatures we got. But soon it´s October, and after that….November and after that…..

For those who enjoy snow and skiing, there are many long ski tracks in Åkulla (10 km) from us. We also got at ski slope in Ullared (10 km). When there is minus degrees, they produces snow in ”snow cannons”.

At Slamrekullen we love the Christmas holiday!

We start to ”light up” the cottage in November. Just while Gekås and ”Christmas at Liseberg” lights theirs candels. (Liseberg is located in Gotheborg 100 km from us).

We look forward to a cozy and relaxing autumn at Slamrekullen.

Finally, we have waited many weeks! Now, Trolla lake, our nearest little lake, got a brand new bridge and today, the boat splashed  down in the wather 🙂 We have the boat together with our neighbors, but if it´s free, our guests can borrow it.

In my little binder in the house, (the one with lots of information) are now several suggestions of walking paths nearby. The day before yesterday, I tryed a new one it was almost five kilometers. Here is some photos from my walk.

It seems to be a nice week, with good weather. Tomorrow, we are welcome a couple from Germany.

Have a nice day!

In this time of year (May and June), Sweden show their true colors.

Everywhere shines the yellow canola fields.

At Slamrekullen (and in the rest of Sweden) it has not rained in two weeks! Everything is very dry. It´s very rare that we have to water the lawn, but we did that this week, otherwise it will die. Everything has grown so green, just in a few weeks.

Today, Ronny and our dear neighbor, Jörgen build a new pier at the lake, ”Trollasjön”. Soon we can use it and take a trip with the boat.

Have a nice day!

Tschüss!  I try to learn German 🙂
