I usually stay away from commenting about politics on my blog. Although I have my opinions in life, I am not usually a person to air them. However, Brexit is something that is leaving us somewhat drifting around in no man’s land a little at the moment. This is not a post about all the issues that were voted on …
After living abroad for 2 years now, we are definitely not the same people that arrived here at the start of our dream adventure of moving to to Sweden. Living abroad changes you, and I want to discuss how it has changed us. I am not talking about what it has taught us, or the problems we have had, or …
The 5th October marks 2 years since we arrived, joined Dadda, and started our life in Sweden…it has gone crazy fast and I can’t believe we have already been here that long. Our little people are starting to be not so little anymore, and all three have now started school here. I have previously reflected back at the 6 month point and …

This summer we have taken you on our adventures around the Blekinge archipelago, and now we return to its capital, Karlskrona. This post will complete the series I have done about the Blekinge archipelago by …

The fabulous summer weather made the adventures much easier for us, …

They come in all shapes, sizes, and conditions, but there is no doubt about it, being able to do your cooking outdoors on a hike or a camp, safely and responsibly, adds to the experience and memories, especially for our three children. There …
I would like to share with you a little about what a Swedish Easter (Påsk) is like compared to back in the UK, and whether or not we have fallen in love with yet another part of Sweden’s culture. Easter back in the UK for us, was always a mix of Scandinavian traditions and English ones, with me having my …
Bastasjö is a lake that is the centre piece of the Bastasjö friluftsområde, outdoor area. It is very convenient being only about a 15 minute drive from the centre of the city of Karlskrona in the south of Sweden. It is a huge area of hiking trails around the surrounding woods. What makes this place so good for families are several …
Over the summer holidays, I took the trio over into Skåne county for a camping adventure. While we were there we visited a fantastic outdoor viking museum, called Fotevikens Museum. The viking museum is an open air museum, which is depicting how life could have been in a viking village. It is so good for the children and their imagination …
When we first heard about the possibility of moving to Sweden, there was a lot of research we needed to do. One of the main things to look into was the cost of living in Sweden. It is OK to think you need a certain income coming in, but how would the cost of living in Sweden compare to the …
