The Easter Bunny!


At 5pm on Maundy Thursday on the way home from school we found the Easter Bunny, resting in the the mouth of a football goal. One of us, no names, but we have had quite a few long, rough weeks, had just had a bit of a paddy fit in the middle of the road, right next to the bunny, but it didn't seem to bother him. We walked around him to check he wasn't caught in the net, but he appeared fine, and on Good Friday morning when I walked passed with the dog he'd hopped it, presumably he's getting ready to deliver all those Easter eggs. Some of you may doubt this, having looked at the photographic evidence and seen that this is in fact a hare with his winter coat on, but here in Sweden the Easter Bunny is an Easter Hare, so there!

Glad Pask till er alla, hoppas pask haren hoppar inte over er.
Happy Easter to you all, hope the Easter Bunny doesn't skip over you.

A view of our garden:)

Inspired by all the wintery weather back in Britain, this was taken last weekend, digging out the car, note the wing mirror by left foot. At least it was warmer then, only minus 12 or so, now it's minus 25 and windy ... brrrr. Roll on Summer :)
Stay warm.

Thank you for the hats Granny!

Stopped in Stockholm for breakfast, Christmas window displays and a 21-gun salute, not for us but for Queen Sylvia's birthday.

Autumn 2011




Living this far North, I often get asked about the light. How many hours of daylight do we get? Well, we're not so far North that it's dark the whole time. These were all taken at the end of November in the middle of the day.
