To say this was a frantic, stressful, and nervous experience would be a huge understatement!! Dadda viewed a house yesterday (that we had spotted and loved at first sight back in July, and it came on the market last week). He viewed it along with some others (the estate agent holds an open day), and then once the first person …
Marshmallows and Champagne
If you’ve been following us for a while, you may realise by now, one of our trio’s favourite things is to toast marshmallows on an open fire. So after clearing out the garage and doing a trip to the tip (today’s moving abroad mission) we rediscovered the remainder of the wood from our camping trip, and having been given a …
Moving Update No.1
So, as previously mentioned we have now got a removal firm chosen. The biggest conundrum of all of this, has been what to live in and how to pay for it. Initially we were going to let our home in the UK, get a rental agreement in Sweden, and then when we were sure we hadn’t made a huge mistake, buy …
Making Plans.
I have the hugest tick list of places to visit, that grew substantially longer once our little lady came out of school. When I came back from Sweden, I set about making one for the immediate surrounding area that we would be living in (as if I needed an extra reason to make another list!!). I thought I’d tackle a …
Our Home Education Journey will Continue.

In amongst all this are our three little people and what happens to their home education journey, does it just stop? NO!!!!! In an earlier blog I had mentioned about following “Exploring Nature with children”, …
Returning home :-)
We returned home today back to our gorgeous trio, who we had missed a lot, and who we wished we could have shown around too. We flew from Copenhagen at midday, having driven there from the south of Sweden, and were home by 1530hrs. We’d achieved a lot, got our priorities sorted, and were thoroughly pooped…although maybe not as much …
Swedish Recce Day 2.
Today was all about Dadda meeting up with the guy responsible for the job offer, checking Karlskrona out in more depth, along with raiding tourist information for all their information (my suitcase back is in trouble with the amount of literature!), and checking out the local library. We have also had a couple of other successes…we have located the Swedish …
Swedish Recce Day 1.
Well it’s certainly been very busy!! However, we have achieved a lot and managed to get our heads around a few key subject areas. The first job of the morning was to head to a supermarket, to price up a food budget, and get a better idea of the cost of living compared to home, and the good news is, …
