Exploring the lakes

The dogs ( and we too of course) LOVE adventures big and small. Now the roads are clear in summer, they are ready to be explored. We love to try as many paths as possible, looking for lakes and places to swim. Some days we...

A box full of surprises by Organic Oscar

One day, a letter from the postal service arrived, telling me that a package was waiting for me in another town. I drove for about 30minutes to arrive at the most neutral looking building I can imagine (I expected a huge "POST" sign...

Östra Silvbergs gruva (Sweden)

Ready for another trip through Sweden? Join us to Östra Silvberg gruva! In Säters kommun (Dalarna, Sweden) there is an old, small and flooded silver mine where you can dive, swim or just enjoy the view of the crystal clear water. Now in summer, it seems...

Dog SUP adventures

That serious portrait I had in mind didn't work out- luckily Oona showed me some real Oona-ness, a unmistakably goofiness that makes me laugh out out :-) After a wonderful -but short- week in Belgium to visit friends and family, we're back home, back in Sweden....
