Swedish breakfasts


I did not miss anything foodwise during my travels apart from "a proper cup of tea" sometimes. But now being back; oh how I revel in my favourite meal of the day: breakfast.  Here is the limited editioned Gingerbread filmjolk ( which is what all swedes eat, kind of sourmilk/yoghurt, very tasty and healthy) mixed with blueberries and the swedish " havrefras" which is another swedish delicacy made from oats that are puffed and sprinkled with ryeflakes. Yummie.

A new beginning





So I am back again in Europe after months and months of travelling around the world looking for inspiration and just experiencing what is out there. I felt I needed to do this in order to progress and somehow it gave me all that I had wished for. I feel so lucky to have met so many wonderful people, seen the most spectacular views and places in the world, not had any problems and just learnt to appreciate every day and every meeting.  
Coming back home was unreal for the first two days but then after that it was more like the trip was a dream. It felt so faraway and so different to the life in London. I left to celebrate christmas and new year in Sweden with my family and friends and that helped me to come back to a normal existence. But I am not sure that is what I want. I am so used to creating my own day that I think it would be impossible to go back to being told what to do. But I am not worried, somehow my journey taught me more than anything not to worry about things. And I feel so much better for not wasting all that time.  At the moment I am doing a course online in " creativity"and that is helping me as well to slowly get back into having a structured day. But for now I am enjoying the last few days of being at home. The weather is stunning with lots of snow, so I go skiing and play with the dogs.
