This is Anerley

Our new place that is still a mess but I like the way the light is reflected on the laminate floor which by the way is called "Nordic Pine" and on the walls we have painted a matt Swedish white (alias stockholms vit ) As one of our visiting friends commented "I can see Ebba choose the colours looks like we're in IKEA" I wasn't amused as you can guess, but I suppose I rather have IKEA look then a dark rustique style.
The canal is right at the end of our garden and among the large trees is our own pear tree full of fruit, a remainder from the orchard there used to be on these grounds.

I took my son to the street where I grew up, it was surprisingly emotional when I showed him the stones where I used to play as a child, it felt like yesterday I was running around there, and my body rememberd the feeling of the stone under my fingers.
I wish he could have the same feeling for stones and woods I had.

Helsingfors days

On a visit to Helsinki/Helsingfors and my friend the childrens book Illustrator Linda Bondestam, I took some pictures of her colourful flat and very cute kids.

We had Oscars 4th birthday on Saturday I was exhausted afterwards and swear never to do another kids party ever again...
Then on Sunday we where treated to some Sardinian delicacies by a friend, kids where roaming their huge garden! Made me feel I was somewhere else then London, but then with the sky so quiet and blue these vulcanic days London is not the same.
