Yesterday it was time for us to join the sailing ship Gratia, a 30 metre long sailing ship from 1900. The ship belongs to the Swedish Cruise Club's Sailing School Foundation and we had the chance to try out a sailing course over a weekend. We will tell you more about the sailing school and all our experiences on board over the next few days. Here is a small picture bomb from the first day!

My (Helena's) new job in Stockholm County Council involves a lot of travelling - in the county. Yesterday I managed to visit three different areas of Stockholm. Now I'm taking you around Stockholm in one day, to three areas of the city where I hang out quite often. Have you been to these areas? Do you have any relation to them?

On Sunday we were in Warsaw and then we only had time to go home and sleep a few hours before it was time to drive round trip Stockholm - Gävle. There are sudden changes now! The reason for our trip to Gävle is that I (Helena) have applied for a job there. I'll tell you more of course, and we take the opportunity to show some pictures from the beautiful winter road. We have winter and snow in Stockholm now too, but it is even more winter when you drive north!

This weekend was All Saints Day and we met my (Helena's) mum and brother and their family to spend time together and light a candle on my dad's grave. Mum also treated us to a meal at Skänkstugan in Täby. This little restaurant in the countryside is really cosy and also offers good food, so of course we have to tell you and show you some pictures. How was your weekend?
