A mini-adventure
We've been home for quite some time now (by our standards anyway), so it was really fun to get away on a mini adventure this week. It was a journey by hire car, about 4 hours north. There was deep snow, good food and a very cosy Accommodation. Report coming tomorrow, Saturday!
Solar cells for your motorhome
This week we have also received a large package. A while ago we ordered solar cells for our motorhome, so that it will be a little easier for us to free camp. Many people say that they can free camp "forever", but the combination of an older motorhome and lots of electronics means that we are often limited and forced to take in pitches or campsites where there is electricity.
With solar cells we hope to feel a little freer! We bought the solar cells from Camping4u and we will install them sometime this spring. In the meantime, they will be in the parcel here at home and wait for better times.
Nice visit to the houseboat
This week we have also had a 'special visit' to the houseboat. Our guest writer Anna Nilsson Spets, who was recently on an adventure at Socotra Island, was on a visit to Stockholm.
She had been on an excursion to the Natural History Museum, together with her grandchildren Alice and Elsa and their aunt (behind the camera), and after that they took the opportunity to stop by for a coffee, and see what it's like to live in a houseboat. Great fun to have visitors!
Best this week
Best thing this week? Well, it's probably that we went on a little mini-adventure in Sweden. You don't always have to travel that far for it to be an experience!
Your turn... what can you highlight as the most positive thing from your week?
The week ahead
During the coming week, it will continue to be Stockholm and houseboat life for us. We have a whole bunch of meetings booked, mainly in connection with the development of the travel agency, so it will be a week full of work. Now we wish you a nice Friday and weekend!

Well, the week is not over yet. I'm expecting a nice weekend with lots of joy.
Aunt Anna and you remind me a bit of each other, she looks like she would be your mum or aunt. Cheerful and colourful women.
Have a nice weekend

Haha Anette, that's a good one... I think I'm too young to be a mum.

Helena says:
Yes, you're too young for that, but we have a similar hair colour anyway! 🙂

I don't think I've ever even travelled on a tram in Gothenburg... need to experience Gothenburg a little more someday! 🙂

So cosy with a visit from the colourful "Aunt Anna" and it will be fun to read tomorrow about your trip to Dalarna, surely there are adventures without having to go so far. I've been to Skövde for a really nice "pensioners' lunch" with lively former colleagues and the day after I had my childhood friends for lunch. Otherwise, the biggest thing that has happened this week is that we have told others than those closest to us about our plans for 2025 and it feels like we hopefully have a really wonderful year ahead of us.

You certainly have many exciting plans ahead of you! Wishing you a great weekend! 🙂

We have solar panels on our older motorhome, and an inverter. So we almost never stand on campsites or the caravan park. Only if we are forced to stand somewhere, such as Österlen. We also have double gas bottles and a very large water tank. So we do very well for ourselves :)

We also have an inverter, which is great! But if we fricampar with than two days in a row, the electricity runs out (especially if we use the inverter) so we hope that the solar cells will help! We also manage quite well with LPG and water!

The absolute best thing about this week is that I took the train up to Dessan and Kjell in Umeå. Getting so pampered and enjoying all the white snow and northern lights.
Have a nice weekend.

Hi Helena! HAPPY FRIDAY! TGIF! You really don't have to travel far for it to be an experience! Sweden is amazing and there is so much to discover. Unfortunately, I am bad at getting north. Will be exciting to see your adventure tomorrow.
The blogging world is amazing! Nice visit for you! FUN!
My favourite moment this week was probably when I got a surprise present. Or maybe it was the SUN shining today!
KRAM to you! Anna
