Happy New Year



My parent's house

On December 22 we left for Sweden to visit my parents, and to celebrate Christmas together with them and my brother and sister's families.
Lots of people in a small house with children everywhere and a lot of laughter and good food...we had a wonderful Christmas!
Thanks Mum and Dad!



This winter has broken all low temperature records, but it is so very beautiful outside - like a winter fairy tale.
So in spite of the cold, we enjoy being outdoors.

We took out two cats with us to Sweden.
King of Hunt is not affected by low temperatures, even if he spends more time in the sofa corner than normal.
But our little Sofa Princess is...well, a sofa princess. She does not get much coat to isolate from low temperatures, so we decided to take her for a short walk:


...inside my daughter's jacket.
At least she got to see something different!



A new year is on our doorstep.
It will bring new possibilities for us all.



May the new year come with many happy horse-y moments, wonderful rides and may it keep you safe and sound.
All the best!

As one who grew up in Sweden during the 70's I cannot help myself from adding a New Year's greeting from ABBA - Happy New Year!

Gorgeous winter scenes! Glad you had a nice Christmas with your family. The Sofa Princess is a lovely winter accessory. Looks like she enjoyed her tour from her cozy spot inside your daughter's jacket. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Your photos are lovely - they pull me to your part of the world - I wish...although I don't know about the moose...they frighten me a little! Enjoy the beauty of the coming year. Thanks for the ABBA fun.

Thanks for your nice comments all!

Someone also sent me a nice New Year's greeting by mail. Somehow I managed to erase it instead of opening it - at least it has disappeared. I am sorry, because I do not know who sent it, only that it referred to the blog.
