Autumn colours

Autumn in Sweden is not the best season. Here in the south, it is often grey, windy and rainy. However, from time to time the sun comes out and it is lovely to walk in the forest. I have joined a hiking group and enjoy their trips. In September, when the sun was still shining, we hade a wonderful day in Frostavallen, a recreation area north of Malmö. The walk was around 20 km, and it was very warm for the season. People were even swimming in the lake. One of the most beautiful walks I have done in Sweden.





Yesterday, we walked around the outskirts of Malmö, in another recreation area, Bulltofta. It used to be a domestic airport, but is now a recreational area with a variety of walks. It was rather cold and windy, but fresh. It took us on a 10 km tour, before we were rewarded with grilled hot dogs. Back home I took a hot shower, to shake off the cold wind. Although the weather is not always good, it is wonderful to spend a day outdoors.


I usually walk in an area called Skryllegården, about half an hour from where I live. It is also a nature park with perfect walks. You choose the distance and start walking.  A couple of times a deer ran over the path, just in front of us. The forest i full of animals, birds, mushrooms and other things that makes the outdoor a wonderful and interesting place.


I am quite pleased with the number of walks I have done lately (more than I have mentioned here!). It makes me feel good about myself and healthy as well. Fresh air and spending time in nature should not be underestimated!

A visit to Glimmingehus

Image
Glimmingehus is a medieval castle located about an hour's drive from my home. If due to the coronavirus or not, only guided tours are available, every hour. I came 15 min before the first tour at 11 am, and got a ticket for the 1 pm tour. I spent the waiting time visiting the small, but interesting museum, walking around the castle, visiting the herb's garden, and the small park surrounding the estate. As I always have a book in my bag, I sat down at a picnic area to read while waiting for the tour to begin.  I always find guided tours interesting. They will tell you a little bit more about the history and the lives of the people living there. The estate has quite an interesting story, and we were treated with information about past and present times.  Glimmingehus was built 1499-1506, during an era when this place was part of Denmark. It is the best-preserved medieval stronghold in Scandinavia. Due to the troubled times in which it was built, it contains many of the defensive

Excursions nearby

In corona times we take the opportunity to discover new areas for walking. Usually, we walk directly from our house down to the sea, or we take the car to venture out in the many natural parks we have nearby. As has been the case for five weeks(!), yes incredible for being Sweden, we have had sunshine, almost the entire time. Now the temperature has gone up somewhat as well, so we thought this was the perfect time to clean and maintain our electric bikes. Yesterday, we took the first ride for the year. A wonderful day and we went over to Katrinetorps Landeri. It is an old manor house and farm, now more of a museum with a restaurant, antique shop, and a souvenirs shop. In the old days, houses like this were used by the well off people from Malmö to use as their summer retreat. It has a big garden at the back of the house filled with flowers and vegetables. Around it is a natural park with a gazebo, small lakes and ponds, paths and small bridges connecting the two sides of th

Visiting Florence, Italy

Image
To celebrate my birthday in mid-February, I visited Florence, Italy for three days. We were lucky to get out of there just before the coronavirus started to spread. It is one of my favourite cities to visit. Apart from visiting the wonderful museums, houses, and art, it is a pleasure just to walk the streets. It takes you back to the Italian renaissance and the glory of this city. We stayed at a small B&B just neighbouring Il Duomo. What a view to wake up to in the morning! There were many tourists and the line to get into the dom was too long for us to try. I have seen it during an earlier visit. It is a beauty just to walk around from the outside. The building started in 1296 in the Gothic style, and with a design by Arnolfo di Cambio. It was not completed until 140 years later in 1436 when the dom was designed by Filippo Brunelleschi. Il Duomo as seen from our B&B Il Duomo from street level We had three visits on our itinerary;  Palazzo Vecchio and the Piazza d

A trip to Austria

Image
Our son Hannes is going to study for a Masters in Geophysics in a program that covers three universities; Delft, Zürich, and Aachen. Normally, it would not be a problem to go from Sweden to Holland for the start of the semester. However, this year is not normal. Swedes coming to Holland had to be in quarantine for 14 days. It would have been expensive to stay so long. He could not come into his student hotel until 1 September. Instead, we decided to go to Austria. Martin, my husband, was already there and had arranged for a corona test the day after our arrival. Otherwise, we would have had to spend the entire time in quarantine. It has been difficult for Swedes to travel this summer, although it has eased now. Well, as Donald Trump says: "It is what it is." We took the car in mid-August and drove 16 hours to arrive in Innsbruck in Innsbruck. A long drive indeed, but it went very well. Less traffic than usual and fewer queues by the roadworks made for pleasant driving. The mo

A visit to Sofiero Castle and Park

Image
North of Helsingborg, on the west coast of Sweden, we find a former royal summer palace, Sofiero. In 1864, Prince Oscar of Sweden and his wife Sophie of Nassau bought this former farm. The first one-story palace was completed in 1865 and was expanded with another floor between 1874-76 after Prince Oscar became King Oscar II of Sweden and Norway. Sofiero Castle In 1905, Oscar II's grandson Prince Gustaf Adolf, future King Gustaf VI Adolf, and his wife, crown princess Margaret received the palace, called Sofiero, as a wedding gift. Princess Margaret was very interested in gardening as was Prince Gustaf Adolf, and they invested a lot of effort into making the gardens great. Among other things, they planted a large Rhododendron garden, situated in a sort of gorge surrounding the palace, which we can still enjoy today. Princess Margaret died in 1920 from blood poisoning following an ear infection. Three years later the Prince married Lady Louise Mountbatten who also took an inter

Jenny Lind - 200 year anniversary

Image
 One does not get out too much these days. I was therefor happy to see that there is an exhibition about Jenny Lind, the famous opera singer of the 19th century. The exhibition, at Torup castle, was a guided tour and the group was limited to 12 persons due to the restrictions. Jenny Lind was born on the 6 October 1820 under difficult circumstances. Usually, you can read in the church books 'father unknown', but for her birth, it said 'parents unknown'. She mostly grew up in foster care, but her mother took her in from time to time, more disrupting her life than caring for her. One day she was sitting in her window singing. A maid working for a ballet dancer at the opera house passed by and heard her sing. She was amazed at the voice and talked to the people in charge of the opera. She came to audition when she was only eight. Much was lacking in her voice at the time, but she was accepted. As they say, 'the rest is history'.  She had a very successful life, sing

Excursions in the vicinity

Here in Sweden, we continue to self-isolate. Venturing out for errands, shopping, and excursions. If one should seek a positive angle for the present situation, it is that we have so much time on our hands. In the last 20-23 years, we have been very busy, and time has been a rare commodity. We, therefore, appreciate it a lot. It has also given us the opportunity to discover our new surroundings. I think we would not have discovered so many wonderful places had times been normal.  The Skåne (Scania) area where we live has a lot of nature parks, forests, and seashores. It is all there to enjoy. Here are a few photos from our latest outings.  The modern-day Falsterbohus, today housing flats. In the foreground the ruins of the ancient fortress.  There are lots of castles in this area. They are mostly beautifully situated around a lake. One of our favourites is Häckeberga Castle. Surrounded by woodlands they make for a stunning walk.  Söderåsen/Skäralid is another beautiful park. We made a
