Mother-son day with my oldest

Me and Danniel outside the castle. It's not the house behind us which is a wing)

Yesterday I had my mother-son day with Danniel who is my oldest. I try to go to interesting places and often two different during the day. I don't tell them in advance. It's funnier that way :-)


*The big pool (we didn't bath since we had no bathing clothes) which was the first outdoor pool in Sweden built in the 30's*

Beautiful ceiling in the dining room. There was a castle here already during the Vikings in the 900

Danniel and I went to Häringe castle which is on the way to Nynäshamn. We have passed there so many times during our trips to Gotland but never actually went in there. So now it was time.
The weather was superb or rather very hot. But my car has AC so it's OK driving, but when you get out that's a different matter.
I had booked for lunch and they showed us the terrace. But with temp. over 100F we couldn't possibly sit there so we asked to be seated inside and we were. Actually we were the only ones inside :-) But it was so nice and cool so we really did a good choice. Beside that it was a banquet hall with a wonderful ceiling (see photo)
After lunch which was good we went on a sightseeing of the castle.
I'm sorry for the bad quality of some of the photos.

Beautiful open fire place

Big salon where they usually serve afternoon tea

Another beautiful ceiling

After the tour around the castle - we even went down to the wine cellar and the dungeon - we continued our trip and now we headed to a meat shop where they have meat, or meat from animals that comes from selected farms. The animals have been out and not breeded in some barn and fed with pills. They eat grass and are naturally breeded which makes the meat tast so much better.
They also have eggs from hens living like they used to, outside, happy as only hens can be ;-)


Sanda hönseri

After shopping a lot (!) we went back home to Danniel for some coffee and freshed baked cinnamon buns. Danniel had made them the day before. We had a very nice time on his newly fitted balcony. They have installed glass around it which makes it perfect as an extra room. After that I went home after a wonderful day with my oldest. A day that to me is luxury, being able to be with my sons one at the time as adults.

Time for coffee and buns

Happy Mom on the balcony

Tomorrow it's Jonas and me that are going to hang out. Can't tell you where we are going though since it's a surprise ;-)

Take care and I will write about our adventure too.

WOW!!! I just have to say Wow!

Why do you ask? I just got a mail telling me that I have won a romantic trip to Paris for 2! I enrolled in this competition, last year, which was to write a slogan and I had forgot all about it when the mail came. I didn't remember it even then so I had to go to the site and see what it was :-) I'm so happy! and so is Hasse :-) We had a great Easter which started with a wonderful ballet, Giselle, at the Royal Opera with my friend Carina. We are going again tomorrow to see Puccinis Turandot :-) The next day Easter Day we went to Gavle and this time we actually stayed at a hotel, Elite Grand hotel. A newly opened hotel, March 1, where we had the executive suite. What a suite! I have to show you some photos. One of the best suites I've ever stayed in! The suite taken from the "living-room area" From the "cosy" area with wood burning stove Our "little" bathroom with green marble Part of the bedroom What do yo...

Christmas gift

For Christmas I got a giftcard to Amazon.com from my sister Jo. It was a real treat to go to the site, explore and find something to buy. There are so many things there and it's hard to choose. For me, leaving in Sweden, it's a bit easier. I just cross the square that says "ships to Sweden" and I get all the things I can order. My choice was Bliss socks and a big bottle of Dermalogica body cream. They came today and I'm so happy. So once again a big thank you big sis for the generous gift.

BIRTHDAY, H.E.A.T, E.R and more...

Some of the wonderful flowers I got And some more Last week didn't start out well. On Monday I woke up and could hardly walk. I had such pain every step I tried to take. But off to work anyway. Tuesday even worse so I went to the doctor's office and asked to borrow crutches. Wednesday at work jumping on crutches, that must have been a sight ;-) But when I came home from work Wednesday I had fever so I went to bed quite early but didn't sleep well because of the constant pain. Thursday morning I woke up and had fever so I called the hospital and they said I had to go to the E.R. I hate that and if I can I always try to avoid it. But I was in so much pain I had to. I came and after a while they took bloodtests, urine and then I sat in a kind of smallish room. After being there for about 3 hours a doctor came and said I probably should see and orthopedic and not a medicine doctor. After one more hour another doctor came and said my bloodtest showed I had an i...
