kvällen vid viggens strand, sjön som vi fann.
en av sommarens magiska stunder.
ostar, lådvin, böcker som lästes högt.
det svaga suset från vägen. 
kanske en ensam visa.

a night by the shore of viggen, a lake that we found.
one of the magic moments of summer.
wine box, cheeses, books were read out loud.
the faint hum from the road. 
maybe a lonely song.  

dalarna!

vi åkte på en sverige-road trip i juli. det har vi drömt om sedan vår senaste road trip till
skåne och blekinge, men det är faktiskt fyra år sedan nu. så äntligen blev det av. vi for
mot nordväst, och dalarna. att runda siljan var målet, allt annat var bara bonus. det här är
koppardalen i avesta.

we left for a small swedish road trip in july. we have dreamt about it since our last road 
trip to skåne and blekinge, but that is four years ago now. so finally it happened again. 
we went northwest towards dalarna. to drive around lake siljan was our goal, everything 
else was just a bonus. this is "copper valley" in avesta.

land of lines.

when entering the house for the first time i found this sign. it is of course just a replica 
and not old at all, but it is still fun to read for you who know swedish. what is more fun 
is that we had the same sign in the bathroom in the house where i grew up. that one was 
original, and in english. i did not understand a bit, but i memorized the whole text, 
pronouncing every syllable like kids do. it was a strange poem that i knew by heart. still
know by heart. therefor i am happy to translate it very accurately to you:

This room is equipped with
EDISON ELECTRIC LIGHT.

Do not attempt to light with match. 

Simply turn key on wall by the door.

---

The use of electricity is in no way harmful to health, 

nor does it affect the soundness of sleep.

this summer there were two foals in stångby. 
i'm not that much of a horse lover, but it is hard to resist the small skittish ones.

my mother bought this little farm during the summer. 
it is just beside the farm where she lives today.
it is old and worn out, and very pretty. 

her dream is to make one of the houses habitable.
that means we might have a countryside home waiting for us,
on summery weekends or snowing winter days.
