Winter wonderland

Ten days of holiday, family, over a metre of snow, cosy chalet, relaxing evenings and a lot of skiing.
We left a very rainy and windy UK behind for a week and headed to Sweden for a week of skiing and birthday celebrations with the family. Surrounded by over a metre of snow we had a wonderful time in the Swedish Winter wonderland.

 Ready for the first day of skiing!

On the slopes!

Rainy, windy and extremely grey

Looking out through the window you wouldn't have thought I've even left England,  7 degrees, windy, rainy and so grey it looks dark at 2pm! Even if the weather isn't what I had hoped for, yes I did do a snow dance but it didn't work, I'm having a fantastic time! This first week has flown by. Started off with a few nights in Gothenburg to catch up with friends and have some quality time with my brothee before the Christmas madness starts. Did some shopping and continued my travels to my parents on Wednesday. Since then I've managed to work from home for two days, catch with friends I haven't seen for years, finish off the Christmas shopping, visit relatives and obviously spend time loads of time mith my mum & dad💕.
The fun continues today with a trip to town, 'fika' with my old friends and picking up Costa at the airport. Let the 2013 Christmas begin!

Eat, drink and be merry!

Christmas is coming closer and the festive celebrations have started. I've already covered off two Christmas lunches and one Christmas party and tonight it's time for the main event, the Swenglish Christmas dinner! Most of our dearest are coming around for an evening filled with food, games and drinks!

1st of December

Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Weekend. Time off work. Call it what you want but it's three days of quality time, time to do what you want, what you live for. Unfortunately, a nasty cold took the better out of me during the week so Friday night was spent on the sofa with 'The Bridge' and a Hove Tandoori take away. We woke up to a sunny but cold Saturday and

treated ourselves to lunch at The Giggling Squid with dear friends. The day passed, some shopping, started on the advent decorations, enjoyed mulled wine and played an, according to me, extremely difficult version of Trivial Pursuit. Sunday arrived in style and we spent the morning preparing for the upcoming Swenglish Christmas dinner, place cards, ticked! We continued our Christmas shopping, like everyone else and finished off the evening by making a Sunday roast and putting our new bed together. Oh lovely weekend, I can't belive it's over already?
