Min sambo börjar hennes ny kurs idag. Hon är väldigt begeistrad och en lite nervös. Efter hennes klass vi ska träffa med hennes syster i stranden. Sedan vi ska går till en restaurang för pizza.
Vi har en ny tradgård! It was super wild so this year will mostly be taming the lot and preparing for the next growing season. We’re experimenting with a few different ways to tackle the weeds - tarping, cardboard (thanks Linnea!) and cover cropping. It’s so nice to have this space!
Visiting Hönö with Tanja and Matts (Tanja’s dad). We took the ferry out to the archipeligo, explored the town a little, had a swim (our first in the ocean this summer) and enjoyed a super tasty lunch. As we were caught out by a storm on our return to Göteborg Matts devised a makeshift raincoat.
We have moved in!
Sneak peak of the new/old apartment. Tanja used to live here, then it was enjoyed by some lucky tenants, and now it’s ours! Setting things up will take some time. Expect a full photo tour in a couple weeks.
Shrimp boat!
Actually it’s a 150 year old steam boat that now runs weekly all-you-can-eat shrimp dinners on Storsjön. Tanja’s parents took us out for dinner and it was a beautiful cruise around the lake.
Returning to the Swedish mountains with a overnight camp near Gräftåvallen. I brought our little lady bug tent from Australia so this was her first time in the mountains :)
There were many reindeer around. Two large herds went past our campsite along a nearby ridgline and a few came much closer.
Dinner and a swim at the edge of Storsjön.
On Sunday the Larkin clan came together to spread Nonna’s ashes. Nonna joined Poppa at their favourite holiday home at Terranora Lake. We all said a few words and then mum did the honours. Afterwards we had lunch together at the nearby pub. It was a simple event that Nonna would have approved of.
It is my last days in Australia before the move to Gothenburg. Almost every pre-move task is ticked off. Our suitcases are packed and the car was sold.
I’ll be dreaming of beach days like this for a while.
Absolutely no fear from Tanja and Chanel as they crushed the high ropes course at Tambourine Mountain.
It took us four hours to complete every section and I was absolutely dead afterwards.
