We have this plan to go out and eat at a new restaurant once a week - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Some weeks ago we ate at one of the coolest pubs I've been to - The Churchill Arms. Very cool exterior. Recommend it warmly.

Sneak peak of the Lake district
Earlier this summer, when it was still nice outside, we went on a trip to Hadrian's wall - the Roman wall that goes from coast to coast and was protecting the Roman empire from the north. On the way we passed through the Lake District. So pretty! Will we go back there - most definitely!!

There is no better place to be than the playground
Luckily we have a playground just outside our door. How else would Alexandra survived - no swing!!?? Few things are as much fun. And Wolf got to ride as well. Lucky Wolf!
Climb!
Future model for sure!
A day at the farm
Have had my niece and sister visiting. Alexandra loves animals so we decided to visit a farm. But before going to the farm it's important to eat:
And don't forget to change nappy on the pig!
Maybe not on the big pig…
A family crossed our path
Good day!

Lots of smiles and laughs Meeting the cousins
The other weekend all cousins on my mother's side met up at my aunt and uncle's place at Justerö in Stockholm's archipelago. It had been planned for about a year and was put together as many of the cousins don't get a chance to meet each other that often. The place is 1-2 hours from Stockholm by car and was very pretty. It was very nice to meet each other and while children and grownups played together we shared many laughs. It was really good seeing everyone.

A day in Astrid Lindgren's world with Alexandra
When I last was in Stockholm I had the opportunity to meet up with my sister Mikaela and her daughter Alexandra at Junibacken, an amusement park and museum built on Astrod Lindgren's characters. A fantastic place! In Villa Villekulla (Pippi Longstocking's house) Alexandra got to cook and then she got to ride Lilla Gubben, Pippi's horse. Finally she got to see theatre featuring Alfons, another Swedish children's character.
