Bliss

One (of the many) great thing(s) about having a baby is that whenever I buy a magazine, I never have time to sit down and read it and I eventually forget that I've bought it. Then, one day when the baby is sleeping, I find the magazine that I'd forgotten about, and I have time to sit down and read it with a cup of coffee. A blissful break, just to myself!

Woodanemone

Woodanemone (hvitveis) has always been my favourite spring flower, and ever since I was a small girl I have been searching the ground in the woods to find the first one in spring. Having never found these in England, I had resigned to the fact that they probably didn't exist around here, until one day this view opened up in front of me on one of my long morning walks with F. What a sight! I was so excited. Since then I've been making a trip up to the woods every day to pick a nice bouquet.

Lately

I took an unintentional break from blogging, but now I am back and I'll show you what I've been up to in the last month!

We went back home to visit friends and family in the blazing sunshine, and had an amazing time introducing F to everyone.

I loved being by the sea again and I savoured every moment, breathing in the fresh air and watching the open horizon.

I had the first ice cream of the year.

I celebrated my birthday, got some lovely presents and ate lots and lots of cake.

We enjoyed the sea some more.

And when we came back spring had finally arrived, and with it lots and lots of flowers. I was particularly excited to discover that the woods were full of forest anemones, as I didn't think they grew in this country. Oh, so pretty!
