Hiking
We've spent the last few weekends making improvements to the apartment. Between that and feeling ill for half of November, we hadn't spend much time in the wilderness. But sun was forecast on Saturday! The days are dark at the moment so we didn't
Hiking
We've spent the last few weekends out and about in the city centre (photos coming soon), so it was time for a day in the wild. Spending a Sunday lazing around was tempting but we were spurred out of the house by the fact the sun won'

One of my favourite times of year has arrived... wild blueberry season! I kept checking the bushes each time we visited the forest and the first berries were finally ready a couple of weeks ago. Yas! We eat a million berries in the forest, save a few to eat fresh
Hiking
The hike from Lindalen to Sandasjön lake was hot. So hot. It was nice to get out on the trails and switch off for a while though. I don't have many photos from the day but there are a few things I want to remember, including the route.
Hiking
Our previous expedition to Tornberget utsiktstorn (a surveillance tower location in WW2) resulted in us hiding from a storm under a picnic blanket. This time, the sun was blazing hot all day! Everything had sprung to life since our last visit to the forest a few weeks ago. Wild blueberry
Hiking
As New Year approached, we felt the need to get some proper outdoor time. Something other than a trip to the supermarket or a quick walk squeezed into a lunch break. We ventured out into the snow on Christmas Day but that was definitely more of a waddle after a
Hiking
The hike to Tornbergets utsiktstorn was an even split of good and bad luck. We boarded the train and I realised my phone had restarted — a problem because my sim adds a passcode lock after restart. I didn't have the passcode to hand so we ended up finding
Hiking
Rain was forecast last weekend but we really wanted to head out for a hike, so we said sod the weather and did it anyway. These photos are quite dark and moody! It was finally cool enough to wear our proper hiking boots again, which was good because we never
Hiking
Saturday started with a layer of suncream and a generous spritz of mosquito spray. I'd been looking forward to some fresh air and a proper walk all week... keeping my fingers crossed for decent weather. Luckily we didn't have to go far to find this amazing
Hiking
An abundance of accessible wild spaces is one of the things I love most about Sweden — the country has a principle called Allemansrätt which gives every person the right to roam free in nature. You may think we travelled some distance out of Stockholm to find a lake surrounded by
Hiking
Sunday was adventure day. We packed the BioLite stove, tins of beans, bread, butter, a flask of hot chocolate and some inedible essentials, and walked up to the forest to meet friends. The weather couldn't have been better sunshine; blue skies and frost on the ground. This is
Hiking
I had two birthday wishes this year. One was to do absolutely nothing and recharge (films, personal projects, nice food etc) and the other was eating breakfast in the forest. On the Sunday morning, we stuffed supplies and a stove into our rucksacks, laced our boots and headed for the
