Landed In Stockholm
Hello all. After that big snow storm in Seattle last week, where the whole city came to a quick halt. (The area was declared ”State Of Emergency” with power outtages effecting hundreds of thousands of people and traffic chaos and trees down everywhere). Our power went out (it was cold, people!) but thankfully our fireplaces run on gas so that is where this family camped out telling stories and snoring in sleeping bags!
(My lovely blog friend Joanna, wrote this great Stockholm guide).
With that behind us, I am now on to the next adventure. When this post goes live, I have literally just landed in Stockholm. I will spend a week in my old home country, looking after my loving Mom and spending quality time with close ones.
My blog will be quiet during that time. I hope you understand.
If there is anything in particular you want me to bring back from Sweden, let me know.
There are some really incredible and clean metro stations in Stockholm. The city is all about great public transportation and walking. (I eat like a starved elephant when I visit, but always lose a few pounds. It is all that city walking. And what a fun city to get around in!).
I will be back Monday January 30th.
Warm hugs. I will be thinking of you.

Amen! Stockholm being such a small capital city is wonderful to walk through. I too love the variety and personality of the different areas and love a good stroll!
Hope mum is ok. Bet she will be happy to have her girl home, if only for a week!
See you Thursday!
Big hug
