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 🙂

I want to show you a small film about my hometown – Falkenberg and the local environment in Halland. The film is called ”Falkenberg – past, present and future”. Falkenberg is located in the coast, ca 40 kilometers from Slamrekullen. Famous for the fine sandy beaches, Falcon beer, the delicious mached potatoes in ”mojjerna”, the new football arena, the beautiful scenery around Ätran and the old town with the church ”St Laurentii” from the 1300s. The film also shows the most popular ”holidy trip” in Sweden – Gekås. And this mega store, is NOT located in Falkenberg! In Ullared it is, where we lives!  If you want to visit Falkenberg, I have some ”tips for trips” in my small binder in the house.

Sometime there is problems to show the film!!! You can search on ”youtube” – Falkenberg – dåtid, nutid och framtid.

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. Craftsmen´s 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 fråm 1841. I think it´s nice and beautifully with old tings. Things that we saved, find there places in our house, even though it´s only on a toiletwall….

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 Mossahägnad. Therefore, we booked in ourselves in the calendar 😉

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!
