YES! Some small drops finally fall from the sky……

But we need a lot! It is a disaster for our farmers and their animals. It is a disaster because the forest is so dry and the leaves are yellow and falling….

In the north of Sweden, there is several forest fires wich are difficult to extinguish. It is fire prohibition in all of Sweden.

It is also adisaster for our plants, the lawn and my sunflowers 😦 The fish in our pond get less and less water every day….

BUT, right now it rain!!! I hope, from now, we got a normal summer. With some sun, some rain and temperatures we can handle, (not over 30°!!!)

But we have some wonderful days so far……with out rain…….bath in our lakes, canot trips with fishing and lots of lots of ice cream!!!!

Love from Lotta & Ronny at Slamrekullen.

TODAY, 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, tomatpuré, 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 😉

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!

Summer come early this year!

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

Perhaps it´s 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!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Ps. Blueberries blomm!!

Lotta & Ronny.

Starts with sun!

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

Everywhere around the houses, we see little white stars on the ground – vitsipporna!  And 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!

Lotta & Ronny

We wish you a lovely Easter!!

We celebrate Easter in snow this year 😉

We ended the Easter eve with our neighbors, with a warming ”Easter-fire”!

Now we melt the snow! Here comes the SPRING!

Hello our dear guests and friends❤️

We will send you all a sunny greating from our vaccation. Every year in march, we went to Florida and also a cruse to the carribbean. 16 march we left a cold and snowy Sweden……

………. for a warm and sunny Florida and a cruse to the carranbean islands. This year we wisited the ABC – islands (Aruba, Bonaire and Curaso). It was a wonderful cruse, and no waves😉

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. Now we whant spring, sun and ‘fika’ in the sun🌞

We wish you a happy easter, and a warm welcome to Slamrekullen.

❤️❤️ Warm greatings from Lotta och Ronny at Marathon, Florida Keys🌞

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

We have not had such winter for many years, and it´s 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.

”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
