Country Living

I love sunday afternoons. They make me feel warm and excited on the very inside. I think I cherish them so much ,because after a week with all it´s ups and downs, and before a week with unknown surprises I always find myself back in a place surrounded with loved ones. Especially a sunday afternoon makes you want to hang on to the moments a little longer, before you rush yourself into the daily rhythm of life's obligations.

My dad is usually the one bringing up the most simple but unlikely things to do. I learned from him to always explore every place and just go after every sign you see. So yesterday, there was a sign beside the way: Tractors, now and then. And of course immediately the car made a swing to the left. And this time once again, the surprisingly beautifully surrounding did yet funny, not surprise me. Because from experience, every time my dad takes a pioneers step, it makes my world bigger than it is.

My son is very much into every thing that has wheels! We ended up in a little farm village, with a big field with tons of tractors. I am so fortunate to have learned to enjoy the simplest things in life. Standing in the dirt with my green boots on, photographing...

Spending the afternoon in Hjo/Update

Last friday when the sun was shining, but the wind was still creeping in our jackets, we decided to spend an afternoon in Hjo. A little cute village up to the north of lake Vättern. It did me good, after spending the whole day behind my macbook! Seeing my little boy loving spending time with his loved ones.

I have been working on my own website for some time now. I must admit that is is not my strongest point as an graphic designer, but I am progressing.. Since that will become my official website, this at the other hand will transform to a little more personal blog. I´ll be letting you know when it´s time to launch the new website.

All my love,

Anne

Hösten på Landet

Let me translate that. Autumn on the field.. or something like that! Just one day before I took these pictures it snowed in Sweden. It´s only October! And this day the sun was so bright and the sky was so blue that I almost forgot that.. it was Autumn! Me and my father put the daily responsibilities aside and went for a walk with the children. He showed me this beautiful farm of a friend of ours. I was just in complete awe. Wide horizon and you could see the beautiful big water. We walked across the field to this little house between the trees with a field of grass behind it. And I stood still and felt intensely happy as I looked over the whole place. ¨Dad , I wanna have my wedding here!¨ I said with a huge smile on my face. Let's just hope that my future husband agrees :).

Midsommar

Yesterday I had my first official Midsommar experience. It 's ridiculous that in all those years that I came here, I never ever experienced it, because it 's such a typical Swedish tradition/celebration. People dancing around a tree, singing songs. Girls feeling like princesses. Me secretly feeling a little special and romantic to with flowers in my hair :)..

Swedish Summer Day

What an amazing unexpected turn it was 1,5 years ago. The day that we felt we were called to the beautiful land of Sweden. I left my beloved country the Netherlands behind me, into this new life. Will I ever go back? Who knows.. my heart is still in love with the people and the culture but, let's be honost... Sweden is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. :)
