It’s on the day four weeks since I moved into my new home in Sweden.
However, It feels so comfortable as if I had been living here forever.

I started renovating the room I want to use as an office. Little progress there, since I find so many other things to do around the house.

Spring came ...

… and with it appeared the first pair of swallows who started building their nest.

Of course, there are many other birds around the house.

Funniest are the rabbits

Well, these are not small bunnies but rather large hares.

They come realy close to the house. One morning, I was able to shoot them with my camera and even got one on film.

If you like rabbit watching, take a look at my video clip …

What would be spring without apple blossom

Apple blossom always reminds me of the large apple orchards around Winchester in the US. Unfortunately, there they are long gone. The beautyful spring scenery has given space to houses.

I counted three apple trees on my property, which are in full bloom right now.

For the lovers of flowers ...

Well, I admit I don’t know the names of most of them.

However, one can enjoy their beauty even without knowing species and type.

A perfect place to be

That’s it for now. More to come.

Around the house

Here are some impressions of my first couple of days of living here in Sweden.

However, the most amazing thing: I step out of the door and there is silence. No noise but bird song and the wind in the trees!!!

Exodus

EW April 30, 2025

Well, it was not an easy decision and it was brewing for months if not years.

I already had the camping equipment removed from Big Paul and now I stuffed all my belongings into Paul’s belly.

It’s never easy to leave home. Especially not, when I am moving far away.

First stop was the ferry terminal.

I was lucky and got an almost newly renovated cabin – clean and everything worked properly.

The crossing was smooth, the sea quiet. Nevertheless, I did not get much sleep due to sheer excitement.

Cloudy, rainy weather greeted me on my arrival. That, however, could not dampen my spirits.

After an eight hour drive, I reached my new home. I was tired, but happy and started right away with the unloading …

Heja Sverige!

I’m here now to explore living in a new country and a new culture. Biggest challenge will be to master the language …

That’s it for now. More to come.

A short Trip to Sweden

EW December 12, 2024

Ahead of Christmas, time seems to slow down again and gives us the leisure to take care of our little blog again.

Lately, we hopped into Big Paul and headed North again.
Considering the low temperatures, we decided to rent a little house rather that sleeping in the van.

Of course, we took some videos and published a clip on YouTube: https://youtu.be/o-0fiQ-HLms

Below some impressions of the area around:

That’s it for now. More to come.
