When Mads came home from work today, our vacation started. Now we have three weeks at a hopefully slow pace to come – and we don’t mind the fact that the weather is marvellous once again. So this is Ronja... Continue reading →

What you see here is my very first blooming poppy (yep, that’s the one I posted about last time) – and another one with it. That must have been the second one, and I never got to see it in... Continue reading →
