Still here

This short post is just to assure everybody that we are still here, living happily in Sweden. There was not that much going on the last few weeks except for nose-to-the-grindstone work, but we are still enjoying our life here. The snow has now almost completely melted, here and there you may see a little ice heap where a few weeks ago was a mountain of scraped snow. It is beautiful to see the flowers come out. Everywhere you can see bright coloured tulips and other bulbs sticking out their heads. The birds are also coming back and a cheerful colourful spring is starting everywhere... the quiet, white winter wonderland is just a far off memory now. We are looking forward to some exciting developments and happenings in the near future so stay tuned. We are moving in a weeks time to a new flat which we need to furnish from scratch. To move house can be a bit of a predicament if you dont own a car. But we will tell you everything about our 'setting up house' adventure in our coming post. Coinciding with our relocationing is a big festival celebrated annually in Sweden but especially in Uppsala - Valborg (aka Walpurgis Night). I include a link to the Wikipedia article about Valborg if you want to read all about it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walpurgis_Night). Our coming blogs, however, will have first hand footage.
