Christmas is just around the corner. Time is ticking away at a furious pace and it's already 20 December. Just a few days left until Christmas Eve ... We are working on our various projects and living the houseboat life, sometimes in quite stormy weather!

Houseboating in stormy weather

We are living the houseboat life as usual, and the last week has been quite stormy. It's the kind of thing that doesn't escape you when you live in a houseboat. You wake up several times a night to the sound of rocking, splashing, creaking or banging in the hull. There is always something!

Neighbours alerted us to the fact that one of the wheels under our gangway had broken in the wind, and Peter set out to change it. At the same time he realised that the whole boat had started to move too far towards the lamp post and that some fenders were out of place. Time to re-tie and fix. Houseboat life, pure and simple!

Christmas is just around the corner...

Christmas is just around the corner, and we have been "decorating" FREEDOMtravel by highlighting various stories about Christmas. At home, we don't make a big deal of the holiday, although we will see some relatives and eat some Christmas food.

This time of the year is quite quiet for us and we take the chance to catch up in different ways. We spend a lot of time on our new project (a travel agency!) and have had several meetings this week. In addition, we had time to make a cosy trip to Vinterviken with our friends on Sunday - which resulted in a report about destinations in the footsteps of Nobel.

Best this week

The best thing this week? It's probably that we got a lot done and that we managed to shorten the long line of unanswered emails in the inbox a bit. And of course Peter's food! Peter goes all in for cooking at the moment, which means I (Helena) am getting very spoilt with good food. Happy Friday!

Your turn... What can you highlight as positive from your week?

The week ahead

The week ahead is Christmas. Here at FREEDOMtravel.se, there will be a post every morning at 06:00, regardless of the day of the year. In the near future, the focus will be on everything from travel to Christmas and New Year's food. Now we wish you a nice Friday and nice (unstressed!) Christmas preparations!
