SPRING! Spring is here





Spring has sprung - and here it happens like the name suggests. Two weeks ago there were still patches of snow on the ground, 1 week ago there were still patches of ice on the river. Suddenly this week the grass is green (it goes brown after 5 months being under snow) and it's warm enough to not need a coat when you go out. I even caught a bit of sun yesterday. Here are are some buds - in a week or two the trees will be in bloom.




My aunty Rosemary was here this weekend so we had a lovely time wandering around Gamla Stan yesterday - then a return trip to Skansen today. We went there on one of our first weekends here - so much has changed. There were actually other people visiting since it was 15 degrees, not minus 5. The bears had stopped hibernating and more things were open. There were also no icy paths. Glorious sunshine all weekend.

    Out of hibernation but still safely behind bars, I hope! Did you get to pet any hedgehogs this time?

    Sorry to disappoint - the bears are in a zoo bit, not roaming free. I think you have to go a long way into the woods to find bears here.
    No hedgehogs to pet - the new zoo is still being built.
