Magical summers evening at Hörte

what a magical summers evening we got at Hörte Brygg o Jäscafé

yummy food from the smoke and 

the best of company

 I feel so privileged sometimes

last night was one of those 

Is summer coming to an end ?

 was this the last of summer  2015 ?

I sure hope not

I still have some days left in this country and 

I would love to have beautiful weather up until I leave

I need some more afternoons with long walks or runs

and I would love to have some more beautiful evening walks along the shore

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for 2 1/2 more weeks

My world is all blue at the moment

maybe it was the blue moon that made everything extra blue ?

Even the birds welcomed the sun

merganser's enjoying that summer is finally here

they are always fun to look at since they need to dry their wings

you do spot them from far away 

 they do have beautiful feathers

just look at that pattern

hope you are having a good day

I wish I could spend the day at the beach

hmmm....another day 

The clouds where gathering

and the weather was acting up

it sure felt like the clouds where on top of us

it was like the invasion of the clouds and they arrived so fast

Mr E noticed the difference between the gathering over land and sea

this summer sure has been filled with clouds, rain and a longing for the sun 

I guess the wish differs depending on where on this globe you are

Christinehof castle

since I was in the neighbourhood the other day 

I decided to pay a visit to this beautiful castle from 1737 !

when the kids where small they loved to visit and look at the wild boars together with my dad 

the castle is nowadays equipped with an echo park

and you can actually go on a "bat safari" ! with the navigators of the dark

a kitchen from way back in time

many feet has walked these stairs....

I'm so happy that they have a café so that I could have a break while it was raining cats and dogs

so no walk in the echo park this time

until next time

enjoy your Friday evening

Hallamölla Waterfall....

I went for a drive today and ended up at

Hallamölla waterfall

 which is the largest waterfall around this part of Sweden..in Skåne that is

the height of the fall is 23 meters !!

it sure is beautiful around here

when walking around in the forest it feels like walking in John Bauers fairytale illustrations

(read about Princess Tuvstarr and the Fishpond for instance)

I wouldn't have been surprised if I had met a troll today

turned out to be  a green day with lots of fresh air 

a little tip by the way...

you can go for a ride on an Icelandic horse in this area too

and that would have been so much fun

did that a while ago with some relatives and maybe 

we can do that soon again?!

what do you say Emilia?

Hörte Brygg o Jäscafé served smoked and barbecued vegetables !

this was a first for all of us

the "smoke"bar served smoked and barbecued vegetables

and it was incredibly tasty

we had smoked and barbecued cabbage, salmon and mackerel

from front to back: smoked celeriac, yellow beets and carrots, all with a twist

I think my favourite was the cabbage !

we had some bread and tasty cheeses too

love the concept of this place

it feels exotic even though they are using products from the area

grrrrrreat dinner

and so exciting to taste something totally different for once

The southernmost point in Sweden - Smygehuk

we had a great drive to the southernmost point in Sweden
Smygehuk
as most of you noticed on Facebook

we did stop and had a real touristy walk around the place

love this old building

windy but what a summers day it turned out to be

the birthday boy was pleased with the lunch 

sitting right at this spot ...with this view..not bad ha ?

 A had a salmon pastry....E and I had the seafood pastry with a little sting

yummy yummy

what are you up to today ?

I'm getting ready for two  weddings !

my cousins are having a double wedding

keep your fingers crossed that the bad weather they have warned us for keeps it's distance
