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 …
Last year, after being in Sweden for a year, I wrote a post about things I had learnt living in Sweden. Now I am going to share with you some rules for living in Sweden. I hope it can give you a little more insight into life here, and the rules for living in Sweden are not so bad most …
A large part of our motivation for moving abroad was our children, and giving them what we felt was a better lifestyle than we could in the UK.

Rural life in Sweden is beautiful, and living here has given us different opportunities.

We …
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 …
We were very lucky when we moved, Dadda had been in the country for 8 weeks before I and the three children arrived in Sweden. This was due to the time it took us to find, purchase, and move into a house. However, if he hadn’t been our “advanced party” a few things may have tripped us up moving to …
We have lived in Sweden for 1 year now, and throughout that year I have been on a very steep learning curve. I thought I would share with you the 15 main things I have learnt along the way so far 🙂 1. Everything takes time: The Swedes are very laid back and they rarely hurry. This might be over …
