We survived the night before and so did the dead tree. It was a sunny morning and we unzipped the tent for a while to enjoy some cool air blowing in off the water. The family staying in the cabin had already gone by the time we surfaced; we were

Day six started with pancakes, grapes, sugar and lemon. We managed to find sugar cubes at the takeaway coffee station in ICA and ground those up with spoons. Then we fried up eggs and ate them with bread and butter. All washed down with strawberry juice. Luxury. Having an unplanned

August was a month of hot days, election posters, crayfish party supplies in shops, outdoor swimmers making the most of the warmer water, loppis signs and an adundance of ice cream. Between a trip to New York and hiking Höga Kustenleden, I was away for most of the month but

Waking up to a rest day at Lappudden felt like a good decision; cooking a hot breakfast felt like an even better one. We bought supplies from an ICA near the pizzeria we ate at the night before — that supermarket had been our first chance for a pack refill since

Our route was only 8km so there was no rush take the tents down. I woke up to a massive mosquito bite on my neck that looked like the early stages of a second head. We laid in our tent and watched cloud roll in over the hills opposite — it

We woke up to another beautifully sunny day and despite it being early, people were already swimming in the sea. Day three was originally going to be a pack breakfast... but that was before we realised the camp café sold toasted cheese sandwiches. We also bought a takeaway sandwich for

Halskiven gave us a sunny morning!!! We made coconut porridge and cups of tea for breakfast, and sat eating around the fire pit. The wet items we hung in the shelter overnight were dry; setting off with dry gear was a good feeling. Our camp area had a composting toilet

Our Höga Kustenlden hiking adventure started with a Y-Buss ride from central Stockholm to Hornöberget, with two friends from the UK. The bus journey took six hours so we spent a night at Björkuddens Hotell before setting off for eight days on the trails. The hotel had two areas — the

Following on from part 1 with more photos from the streets of New York. I planned to shoot most of this trip in colour given it's Summer but the allure of black and white was too strong (plus cities are generally black and white in my mind). Me

I last visited New York in 2008 and it boggles my mind to think that trip was 14 years ago! This time, I was visiting for work and managed to snap some photos here and there. A few days exploring the city with my camera would have been perfect, but

July was very quiet because most Swedes were taking their four week Summer break — many leave the city and venture to Summer houses or rural areas of Sweden. It was another very warm month with lots of sunshine and colour. An uptick of tourists also stood out because we'

June was the month of long days, boxes of Swedish strawberries stacked on fruit stands, mosquitos, city swimmers and sunbathers, TBE vaccination adverts, a heatwave, Aperol Spritz and lots of flowers. Studenten is a celebration for students finishing secondary school. For several days of the month, trucks full of people
