At home - inside and outside

Just relaxing at home just now after a day at work. It is still very much Christmas at my home as you can see here. And my cat is on the sofa, as usual.

And outside it looks like this. Cold and a bit of snow. But at least it is sunny!

Love this tree, it just wont die! Even if we had to cut of the big branches as they were falling on my grass and it was just too dangerous.

Merry Christmas to you all

Just a quick hallo from Sweden here, I just want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

This is what it looks like with my lights in the window today, December 24.

And this a pic from the other side of the house, it is cold today and a little snow.

Not so white outside

It looks like it will be a green Christmas this year, beautiful outside, but not really snowy white as you can se in the pic.

But inside my house, I have a lof of nice things that reminds you it's Christmas, like this mini pine with lights in it.

And then this flower that brings back memories...

Christmas is coming...

Soon it will be here, Christmas of 2014. And here is some of my photos of my Christmas, in my home.

Here you have a lovely building in ceremic, made for a candle inside. The piece of art is from my mother Gunvor.

And here is one of my windows, with lights in the dark.

The last one is from Stockholm, lights everywhere. This is from Sergels torg,

Shopping in Bulgaria

What can you buy when in Bulgaria, or in the turist town of Sunny Beach. Some of it I can show you here, the rest you have to go there to experience...

You can find these hand painted plates in ceramic, some rather nice, others not really my style. But good craftmanship anyhow.

Then yoy have this plastic bags for little girls, a lot of different ones but almost all in pink.

You can also find really good priced bras and other underwear, ok quality too.

But I did not like the fashion style in Sunny Beach or like this shop in Nessebar. They looked like some leftovers in my eyes...

You could also find a lot of handicraft like these laces.

And of course there was a lot of turist shops everywhere.

And for the kids you could goo for these pastic shoes....
And

In old Nessebar

Just some time ago I wrote about my trip to Bulgaria, here is some more photos from that trip. This time from the old town of Nessebar, once a Greek colony.

Old wooden houses and a group of turists in the "city museum".

And they are all looking at this old ruin of a church.

Here is another one of the traditional Bulgarian houses.

There was a lot of beautiful church ruins in old Nessebar, here is one of them.

One more from the narrow streets of Nessebar.

A bit of sun in Sunny Beach

Just back from a week in Sunny Beach in Bulgaria. A very strange place. Here you have some photos of the beach a sunny day in september.

The sea was really lovely and warm, a view of the the Black Sea.

And here is another pic of the long beach, you can se the ancient city of Nessebar in the background.

Sunny Beach and its long boardwalk along the costline it's full of cheap shop's and restaurant's.

One of the many bar's situated on the beach.

A sunny beach of Bulgaria this september, 2014.

A lot of cheap food is for sale at the beach and close to it. Here you can see the popular disco Den Glade Viking, for a night out full with booze, sigh!...

And a pic from the same boardwalk during night time. And more fast food stalls.

Memories of this summer

Eating out and plants in the pots outside the door as a welcome home, it's summer for me.

Here is what you can find outside my door this year, in form of flowers in pots.

And eating outside in the evening is just wounderful!

Walking in the forrest is nice too, but I do not go too far in the woods, I do not want to get lost :)

Animals in the green

Sumer here in Sweden now. And this time I show you some lovely animals in the green, cats and horses.

First out is my cat Kisse walking with me a sunny summer day in the country.

Then we we have a pic of a black stray cat that also likes to come with me on my walks.

Here is a horse in the grass, not ours but here with us this summer.

But this sweet horse belongs to my brother. So happy to be out in the green grass...

Summer at last!!

Are on a short holiday now here in Sweden and I am happy even if it is not that warm and sunny every day.

One day it was like this, and I got out with my phone, a sunny summer road.

Last week it was Midsummer here in Sweden, a big holiday for us. Here a photo from the table inside, it was rainy and cold outside that day.

And just some flowers...

Runestone and more

Today I went for a walk in the beautiful summer landscape here in Sweden. Just a bit outside the city of Uppsala, is a place full of memories from a distant past with vikings and their runestoes with runes that remebered their lost family members.

Just close to my home is this runestone from about 1000 yeras ago that tells us a story about a man that lost his life and were remebered by his brothers and family.

And here is another glimpse of a really lovely forrest, gren and cool to walk in on a hot summer day.

This is the place I went to today, Marma Store that had a car boot sale, a thrift store and a nice coffee bar.

Finally, my new kitchen!

After more than two month of work, intense work, I finally have a new kitchen.

Here is one pic of the sink in white ceramic, from Ikea, like the rest of the units. Have been dreaming of one sink like that for years.

The wooden floor floor is painted in white, like the table and the chair you have seen before here on my blog.

And here you have one more view of my kitchen that looks out to my green garden.

Here in one detail, of the work bench made of wood.

And another pic from my new renovated kitchen.

Some green ruins in Sweden

Finally my Sweden ha become green! What a loverly feeling with green grass again, it is sprin och soon we have summer.

Here you have a photo of some ruins, an old barn, and the green outside.

Just some colors of the nature in the ruins. it is just so beautiful.

One more pic of the ruins in red, in the green.

And here is the last one. Once a building.
