3 YEARS TODAY!

fullsizeoutput_adeTODAY, THREE YEARS AGO, WE WELCOMED OUR FIRST GUESTS TO SLAMREKULLEN!

(A couple from Holland). Since then there has been so many wonderful guests and many new friends. Some of them come back to us, they also like to live here. Calm down in a cozy cottage – in the middle of nature 😉

We are so happy and proud to have built this place, 4 years it took.  We have not forget how many of our friends and dear neighbors who have helped us with ther knowledge and time – no wonder it became so good!

Midsummer it is!

Our dear guests and friends, Kerstin and Heinz from Munchen now lives in our ”uthus”. Last week we were invited to them for a dinner (german style). Potato salad and german sausages and grilled meat – lovely!

Last night, we invited for a dinner (swedish style). Since it was midsummer, we must have sill! (herring). (On Christmas and easter  – we also MUST have SILL!) Not so many people like sill, but we must have it anyway, because it is tradition! (You need to learn to like it). Last night i made a ”gubbröra” (with sill, egg, potatoes, onion, apple, dill, majonnaise, tomatpurĂ©, mm. My ”gubbröra” should be eaten on ”thin bread”. Salmon was the main course – off course! 😉  Salomon is this regions (Halland) animal, and I love salmon!

We have a very nice evening in our wintergarden, infront of the fireplace…..with Prosecco……and beer …..and football…….match……..Germany – Sweden! We lost, but I can not care less! The best team wins. But I have never looked at WM match before in my couch, there not everyone suporting the same team!!!! Interesting.

(This is how my midsummer plate looked like – with sill, potatoes, sour cream, egg, paj mm.)

We have had lovely summer days so far……too little rain, so the lawn has became yellow! But the summer is really nice.

Love from Slamrekullen and welcome to us!

We wish you all a wonderful summer!

Lotta & Ronny 😉

 

 

A small lake + a small boat = Happiness!

Have just arrived home after a lovely evening (with picnick) in our little boat in Trolla lake 😉

The water was warm, so Ronny dicided to take a swim! He also tryed to catch a fish, but no luck.

We love this summer evenings. Absolutely wonderful!

fullsizeoutput_a5eThe summer is really here – over 25° C every day! We are used to this now, so the summer must go on……

fullsizeoutput_a61Tomorrow we welcome a couple from Switzweland.

Have a wonderful week everybody.

Love form Lotta & Ronny.

The summer is ON!

Summer come early this year!

For several days we have had summer heat (25 – 27 degrees).

Perhaps itÂŽs to compensate for the very long and cold winter?

Pichtures from a early morning 6.30!

Yesterday we had ”the big fixing day” at Slamrekullen.

We put up a windscreen / transparency protection on the terrace.

Rolled up a brand new gasol grill, planted new plants around the pond.

AND WE DROWE DOWN THE BOAT TO THE LAKE!

 

 

Now we are ready for lovely summer days! img_8169

Today we say ”good bye” to the winter and welcome summer!

Everywhere around the houses, we see little white stars on the ground – vitsipporna!  Andfullsizeoutput_3d56 the birds have a very stressful time right now. In our little pond, we have visitors (seabirds) almost every day. We have not seen Mr and Mrs Swan yet. I hope they find us again.

(Pichture from last year)

Today we flag for our king and tomorrow for 1 of may!

 

 

Have a nice day!

In time to celebrate easter, we are home again! Home to take care of our dear guests, (our season starts now) and Ronny is ready for a new season on the racetrack😉 We had a hard and cold winter this yaer, and we hope the snow is gone when we got back.

Lovely winter

Every day I take nice winter pictures in several minus degrees.

We have not had such winter for many years, and itÂŽs not over yet! The week to come is also going to be very cold!

Today we have been watching a fishing competition and ice racing on the lakes nearby.

We like winter, we like snow…….

”Dust of snow”

By Robert Frost

The way a crow, shook down on me

The dust of snow from a hemlock tree

Has given my heart a change of mood,

and saved some part of a day I had rued


 

Februari – ItÂŽs cold!

Outside, there are many minuses, and it will be even more colder the following days.

We do not have so many guests during this period of the year, so we take the opportunity to fix some things in the cottage….

Pant the floor…….and the railing.

New curtains from GekĂ„s 😉

We have also put some new (old) tings in the house, and removed others.

It®s Anders Petters old trunk from 1890s as he packed his stuff in, and went to America. But he longed home, so he went back to Sweden again. Now I got his traveled trunk on our seeping loft 😉

It will take another two months until the spring is here……we long for the sun and warmer temperature……..

Ronny, how cold is it outside now?

ItÂŽs  – 7,5C

– BRRRRRRRRR!!!  But I sit beside the fireplace, so ringht now IÂŽm varm. We have also filled up with wood, to the fireplace in the cottage, to our Danish guests, coming tomorrow.

10 Februari – We have had real winter this week!

I was down at our small lake today, took some pichtures and look for a snowman!! And I found him! (Our Danish guests made him some days ago, ”Mr Frost” is his name.

Our little lake is som nice, both winter and summer – all seasons! 🙂
