Just arrived

Just arrived !

I am spending a week in Stockholm , shopping, visiting family and friends. How lucky is it to arrive at the most special moment of the year , or the coldest day of the year. It was minus 26° when we arrived at the airport. That is cold !

I was told that we did not have a winter like this since 1986.

White, crisp and soft dunes. Amazingly beautiful.

I left Stockholm on my first day by train ( a bit caotic with cancelled and delayed trains ) going south to visit a very best friend, who lives in a remote place in the country. She restored an old school from the past. Love it !

We had lots of fun in the snow and it brought back some childhood memories.

When we did have real winters. We would play outdoors all day, not matter how cold it was ,we would build igloos, snowmen and going skiing and so on.

We would also travel around on slides ( mine is the children size ) , to school , to shop, to visit neigbours and sometimes we would also let a friend ride in the front.

Note, the parking-lot in the third photo.

I am enjoying it...........
