It was my mother’s birthday this weekend, so after obligatory cake breakfast, we headed out to a gorgeous garden center called Slottsträdgården Ulriksdal to get some flowers for the garden. They had a pick-your-own garden, for both vegetables and for flowers. And what better excuse for picking your own bouquet than for a birthday!
I was tempted to buy these polka beetroots which are striped inside. They are beautiful especially when cut in slim slices, but I don’t really pickle things so would have no use for them. And boiling beetroot is a bit of a pain. The piles of pumpkins made me long for Halloween. I hope there will be the same craze for dressing up at parties in Sweden. We’ll soon find out!
This. was. the. best. thing. A hanging day bed in the middle of the field by a small coffee shop. If it wasn’t for a kid literally bawling their eyes out after realising their “swing” was occupied by two adult women having a lie down, I would have easily stayed there all day. I instantly reported to my dad, the carpenting fanatic, that we need one of these for our family’s summer house. I have been requesting frequent updates to ensure that this happens! It was so dreamy, it’s a shame the photos don’t really translate as I was perched awkwardly across a couple having coffee and staring straight at me! Thus the incredibly awkward face I was pulling 😀
