In these (strange) times, you learn some new lessons. We also take the opportunity to discover new natural areas, and we've had a newspaper report published. We all have tough times now, but we still wish you a Happy Friday! Take care of all of you!

Lessons learnt from working from home
I (Helena) have now been working from home for two weeks, which means we both work from home. It's going well, but new situations arise and you have to learn from them.
- When one has a video meeting, the other can't walk past naked from the shower (no that hasn't happened, we had a minute to spare...).
- When one person has a video meeting and the other is being interviewed by phone (for a Finnish magazine about being a travel blogger in times of corona) - the phone interview can take place on the deck.
Many natural areas in Stockholm
We work from home all day and feel a strong need to get out from time to time. Of course, we don't want to contribute to the spread of infection, and do our best to keep our distance. So what could be better than being out in nature?
We have started to seek out natural areas, and have realised that there are very many fine nature reserves in the Stockholm area. We have already written about Järvafältet nature reserveand have been able to visit two more. We will tell you more soon!
Report in Caravan & Camping
A new issue of Allt om husvagn & camping (No. 4, April 2020) was recently published. In this issue there is a report we wrote about Estonia. Right now, of course, you should not travel anywhere at all, but when it eases, we can warmly recommend Estonia. Our neighbour to the east offers beautiful scenery and lots of Swedish history.
Food and wine
Fish and lots of vegetables and fruit are on our menu right now. However, we have been little less adept at giving up wine. This week Peter offered a glass of wine and some strawberries before dinner. I was sitting on the sofa bed in the living room (where Peter also works on bicycles and other things), so the serving was on the toolbox ... But it was just as good for that!
Best this week
We have accepted the situation, try to adapt and do our best not to be infected or contagious. Now the focus is on the fact that everyone must help to keep Sweden running and slow down the rate of infection. In the meantime, we are enjoying nature and the spring sunshine, and it is wonderful! Do you have anything that you can highlight as positive during your week?
The week ahead
We will continue to get out into nature. Here in the blog there will be reports on natural areas, which we may mix with posts about corona thoughts, food, motorhome life and film and book tips. Peter has also (finally!) managed to write about Derry/Londonderry in Northern Ireland, so we can publish that too. How does this sound? Let us know if there is anything special you want us to write about!

The best thing right now is clearly that the weather is so beautiful and that we are not under house arrest but can enjoy it! Nice weekend!

The best thing this week has been the sun shining and we have found blue and white flowers.
Today in the morning I also heard the lark.
Access to nature is also free and we have the privilege of having it right on our doorstep. Even better is that we are healthy.

What a fantastic picture that "reflection" from the marina!
Congratulations on the published article 🙂
Hmm... The best thing this week may be that we discovered that it is 450 steps to go up and down in our garage (from the ground floor to the exit, so we do not walk on our hands or so 😉 ). There is also a roof, it rains most of the time. The rain is NOT the best part of the week....
Have a great start to the weekend!

450 steps is not so bad ... you can take a few laps ... Wishing you as nice a weekend as possible!

The best part of the week is undoubtedly that we came home on Tuesday evening. Then the spring weather is absolutely wonderful so keeping us in quarantine with the opportunity to spend time in nature is perfect.
So glad you got another article published! Congratulations!
Have a good weekend!

Feeling calm in the storm, enjoying long walks and adapting our home to the current situation. Still very nice to focus on being here and now, and not in the future all the time.
Have a nice weekend!

Happy Friday! The best part for us was meeting the new grandchild! Also meeting the big kids! That the sun is shining all over the garden so you can be outside is also wonderful. I can recommend some crafts for those who are not so easy to get out: 1. Fotoklok.se where you can make something fun from all your photos. 2. Pusselbutiken.se has lots of nice puzzles to order home. 3. reading tablet (I have Letto from Adlibris) and borrow e-books for free on the library's website. They also have audio books. 4. crafts from slojd-detaljer.se or panduro.com. 5. fabrics and yarns from stoffochstil.
Have a nice weekend! 😉

What a wonderful picture from the marina, incredibly delicious!
Yes, imagine sitting in a (boring) video conference and then all of a sudden a streaker appears - hahaha:-)
Humans are certainly adaptable and can handle most things, even a coronavirus. Love the improvised dining table - perfect!
Oh, in these times, I think you can and should drown your sorrows. I heard that Systembolaget has increased its sales by (only) 10 per cent in March compared to the same period last year...
Congratulations on the published article!

Haha, yes, it can be a bit interesting with video conferences!
I love those contrasts with tools and wine, or as we did champagne and paint the other day.
Wonderful that you found out in nature a little more. It will be exciting to read about it.
