The Great Outdoors

This week in the Stockholm area all children enjoy a week off school so that they and their families can make time to enjoy some kind of seasonal sport.  Many families drive up to the mountains and ski for whole week, but this year, as we skied over the Christmas break, we decided not to go away again, but to enjoy some winter sports locally.  We have been out walking, ice skating and today we spent the day skiing at a local slope.  I packed us a lunch, made some fresh coffee and hot chocolate, and we enjoyed a picnic lunch outside and yet another day of glorious sunshine.  What a wonderful way to enjoy the last days of winter......and tomorrow brings us March, the first true month of spring.

Here's hoping that you had a great day too.  Lilly x
