Happy Friday! We have been travelling in Skåne all week and we have, among other things, visited my (Helena's) old hometown. Very fun! In addition, we currently have the deadline for the editorial articles for the summer magazine so it is hectic, to say the least.

Road trip in Skåne

During our road trip in Skåne, we have seen castles, beaches, cities and nature reserves, and also had a meeting with other bloggers. We haven't had time to write about everything we experienced yet, so more to come. So far we have published these reports:

Visiting old neighbourhoods

I (Helena) grew up in Skåne, more specifically in Lund, and this time we decided to visit my old hometown. Great fun! We will tell you more about Lund going forward.

For now, here's a picture of my old nursery school. Isn't it nice? The house is called Quennerstedtska villan and is located in the Kråkelyckan neighbourhood. I went here with hearing and deaf children, and I have very fond memories of it.

We also visited my childhood friend Johanna and her husband Sven, who relatively recently moved to a villa in the centre of Lund. So great to see them again! Thank you so much!

Breakfast meeting with the German Tourist Board

Although I (Helena) have been on holiday this week from my public health job, we have been busy. One morning we logged in to a breakfast meeting that the German Tourist Board organised for the press and tour operators. They actually sent out breakfast packages to everyone who signed up (so cosy!), but we had to decline that part because we were on a roll. Still, it was interesting and nice!

Challenges for the motorhome

It's great fun to be on a road trip, but sometimes it's tough on the motorhome. Yesterday the morning started with branches falling from a tree onto the roof. Later, we missed a warning sign for a speed limit and accidentally drove over a bump in the road at 50 kilometres per hour.

Everything was unloaded and travelling around the garage, so we have to fix that... tomorrow. Shortly afterwards we drove behind a truck that dropped a metal "wide load" sign. We ran over it, but it seemed to be fine... Happy Friday!

Deadline for the magazine

We have also been very busy this week, in preparation for the production of the summer magazine. We have a deadline for the editorial articles today, Friday. We have, as we have been asked, hired out the layout. As we write this, we are not quite ready yet, but there is so little left that it should easily be completed on Friday. Advertisements can be submitted a little later, but these are also just about ready.

When there is a lot to do, we need to simplify the practical things around us. We found cheap smoked salmon in a shop, and our new favourite lunch now is smoked salmon with potato salad. Another simplification is that we sometimes cheat with paper plates and disposable bamboo sticks at lunch.

Best this week

Best this week? It has been fantastic fun to drive around Skåne in lovely weather. That, together with the fact that we are tying up the magazine, is the best part of the week. What has been the best part of your week?

The week ahead

We will continue to discover Sweden. We are far from finished writing about Skåne, so in the coming week you can expect a Skåne theme here on the blog!
