A beautiful memory of a week cat sitting in Sweden A beautiful memory of a week cat sitting in Sweden. 

I wonder what they were saying to each other - is it too cold to go out? I will if you will? That snow looks a bit deep? 

Sweden truly was a winter wonderland this time around. Thank you 🧡

A break from writing today as we headed to Lysekil A break from writing today as we headed to Lysekil for a lovely lunch @wolffs_kitchen before heading home. 

There may be fika later, with traditional Swedish selma, before lighting the wood burners and getting cosy for the evening. Tonight will be real feel -15!
Happy Lunar New Year! We finally leave that tricks Happy Lunar New Year! We finally leave that tricksy snake behind and enter the forward-moving Year of the Horse. Not only that, but it is a Fire Horse - and I'm a Fire Dragon, so I am hoping for some extra energy this year!

I do find it interesting that three different cultures celebrate today - Shrove Tuesday, Lunar New Year, and the start of Ramadan. Whichever you follow, have a wonderful day and evening!

Super steep steps in snowy Sweden today. I wonder Super steep steps in snowy Sweden today. I wonder where they lead? What treasures may be at the top? Giants and beanstalks, or trolls and tomtes? 

We will never know, as we kept on walking through the icy winds to find  comfort through steaming hot chocolate and cake. The stairs will be there for another day...
