Documenting life indoors has been my main mission lately. For contrast, I also wanted to capture life beyond these walls. Yes these photos are the obvious changes, but they are also what daily life has become. I noticed a supermarket employee not wearing gloves at the weekend and several weeks

I've just finished my first roll of LomoChrome Metropolis! It sat in my camera for several weeks, so getting the negatives back was a nice reminder of the places we explored before Coronavirus ramped up and forced us to spend more time indoors. I'm a fan

The fresh start we've been looking forward to has finally arrived and we've begun settling in to life in Sweden! I haven't taken a great deal of photos yet but I've put together a mishmash from the last couple of weeks. This

Skansen is one of the few parts of our Sweden trip I haven't written about yet. Founded in 1891, it's an open air museum documenting Swedish life through the ages. But Skansen is not your typical museum, it's like going back in time. We

A boat trip to Fjäderholmarna was one of the more touristy activities from our Stockholm trip. It's a small archipelago island fifteen minutes away from the city centre by boat. Since neither of us could pronounce "Fjäderholmarna" (our attempts were hilarious), we handed a leaflet to

Scott and I were chatting earlier and he said looking at Stockholm photos on my blog made him miss being there. And I do too, which is the perfect excuse to share a few more! This post is a mishmash of small moments from my phone and digital camera. Not

Our hike from Säbysjön lake to Järvafältets nature reserve started at Akalla metro station — which was the most direct route based on where we were staying. The area was crammed with apartment blocks so it was hard to imagine a lake and nature reserve nearby but green space was just

You know it's going to be a good day when getting ice cream is first on the to-do list. We caught the tram from central Stockholm to Ålstensgatan and joined a line of people queueing out the door at Scarfo Gelateria, in the blazing hot sun. Hazlenut and

This was our last week in Stockholm before moving on to another part of Sweden. We thought the it had been pretty chilled out but looking back on all the video clips, it was quite eventful afterall. We visited an open air museum called Skansen where we saw wooden houses,

Minna is a barnacle gosling small enough to sit in the palm of your hand. She was waddling along behind her parents and two siblings, who were all industriously nibbling at the soil. Out of nowhere, a magpie swooped down and flew away with her in its claws. The parents

Our second week in Sweden has been an eventful one. We've discovered some great spots to satisfying our cravings for green, open space. Fewer buns have passed our lips — a failure for our happiness, a win for our waistlines. We took a boat to Stockholm's closest

Our adventure has begun and we've quickly settled into Swedish life. We arrived to a grubby Airbnb late at night, after a delayed flight. Needing to give this place a damn good clean wasn't what we were expecting after putting the keys in the door but
