Yesterday, we welcomed our first returners, a family from Denmark. They wanted to celebrate Easter with us at Slamrekullen. We are wery happy about that! Of course, I wanted to make the cottage extra cozy and ”Easterhappy” đ The spring, in the forest at Slamrekullen is bright and full of birdsong. The sun rise early. Almost 06:00 it rises over the treetops.
I have just been out and cleaned and fixed on the toilet. This week, the plumber was here and connect the water to the new water tap. CraftsmenÂŽs really great! Can fix the electrical wiring and water connections you shall not make by yourself. But they leave the room quite messy! I wonder, why is there sawdust all over the toilet? Well…it was fine, now when I have cleaned away all the dust. Wondering if it was the last sawdust, I cleaned away? You have no idea HOW much sawdust I have cleaned, in this house….OMG!
Now, the toilet in the outhouse is complete. On the walls I hung up Annies old window, and a waching pat frĂ„m 1841. I think itÂŽs nice and beautifully with old tings. Things that we saved, find there places in our house, even though itÂŽs only on a toiletwall….
OH! I long for spring now. I want to plant and decorate the terrace . We have some new projects there. But now, it snows a lot! I have to wait……
Last week, Slamrekullen had the frist guests of the year. It was i nice family from Denmark. They liked snow.
This weekend, we do not have any guests. Ronny has spent a few hours on the toilet! đ Because there was not quite finished yet. Beside the washing machine there will be a water tap and a sink, and a bench on top of the washing machine. On the wall, a shelf and under, we should put an old waching paddle from 1841! Now Ronny will call the plumber, then we will soon have water in the tap.
I hope spring soon will be here….
Yesterday I ”cleaned away” the Christmas in the cottage, away with santas, stars and decorations, (down in the tree coffin). I also prepared for our new guests from Denmark, who arrive just when we return from our vacation. I thought it would be nice to prepare a little. As my company I had a little Svante. But he just wantet to play in the staris đ
When I was finished, I took some new pictures. I have put them together in pairs, to get a better overview.
Only six months away.
In the middle of the winter, I will remember the summer 2015. I did a small collage. Enjoy!
Now we write 2016!
Yesterday we lit up in the house, both outside and inside. We would celebrate the New Year with our dear neighbors from MossahĂ€gnad. Therefore, we booked in ourselves in the calendar đ
Of courese, we wanted to start the celebrations in the outhouse. This house that we build, because the house that we bought seven years ago, was so small. We needet more space – a office for Ronny and storage for me, and a large room for partys – a partyroom! We build a ”Uthus”! It took four years and in May last year it was complete. A pity that it should be empty when we do not use it……
”We try to rent it out” ……. what a good idea! Absolutley incredibly fun, it has been. And incredibly fun it will be to continue in 2016.
We wish all our ”old” and ”new” guests a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Today I put a little Christmas tree in the cottage. Of course, our guests who will stay with us over Christmas have a tree. The cottage is ready to receive our new guests tomorrow. It had been fun and cozy with snow and freezing temperatures, but it will not happen. Tonight we have the darkest night, then it will be lighter and lighter, day after day.
From us, to you…..a Merry Christmas!
Today it is Lucia day in Sweden. I celebrated Lucia in the ”uthuset” with nice song from the television and my vacuum cleander was my company. Tomorrow we got new guests from Germany, and then the cottage should be clean and fresh.
Half of December has almost passed and we have not seen even a single snowflake. ItÂŽs to bad! Some frosty nights we got, thatÂŽs all đŠ
But we make Christmas decoratings, light candles, listen to Christmas music and nibbling gingerbread. In the ”uthuset” has some ”tomtar” (santas) moved in. I took some new pictures when the house was ready for our new guests.
The wood supply is full, the fireplace is loaded, just to light! (ItŽs cozy on Slamrekullen even without snow.) Today i made a Christmas wreath to the door.
Now, Slamrekullen is ready for our new guests – a family from Germany.

We are a bit ”Christmas crazy” at Slamrekullen and want to have a ”cozy Christmas” for many weeks, therefore we start now! At the large oak table is now the long candlestick, which I bought at the Christmas market in Lubeck last year. With four dark red light globes and moss from the forest.
On the wall is our fir, made of old boards. It is located there the hole year. Many says that it looks like a sign for navigation at sea. But we do not need navigation signs in the forest, it is a fir! Now when I have lighted it up, everyone sees that it is a Christmas three! If you want some ”cozy Christmas”, you lights both the candles and the Christmas tree.
