Picknick (picnic)

There's nothing better than a really good picnic. 
Except maybe a picnic with friends, by the sea, watching the sunset with a big ol'' box of wine. 
That's probably better. 
And exactly what we did! 




Chopped tomatoes with fetta & Kalamata olives.


Artichokes.


Cherries.


Spinach, radish, courgette & tomato salad.


Grissini.


Potato salad with lemon & capers.


Martin.


Lina.


Valentinadoodle!


Woiinnee lookin' foiiiinnee!


Ok, I'll stop now.







We stayed chatting through the sunset.


Hideously stereotypical... the boys chatted business & the girls talked out what we're going to do with our hair for Middsommar.
There's a lot of pressue! Especially now the weather's looking like it might not rain after all.










It all ended as all good picnics end.
With a bread-saber fight.


I'm finding Sweden a little tricky just because I can't understand a single word other than "Hello" (Hej hej) or "Thanks" (Tack)... and now Picnic (picknick!). 
Thankfully everyone is overwhelmingly friendly & keen to try out their English on a real-life English person. 
Helsingborg isn't a big tourist town so apparently we're pretty exotic over here. Even having brown hair seems to be a novelty! 
I guess I'd better make the most of it!

Hej Hej Sweden!

A few weeks ago I booked flights to see Valentina.
She's been my best friend for years & years and living in separate countries sucks.
However much we Skype, text & Instagram it's just never quite the same.
From the day we booked the flights we've been counting down like kids waiting to go to Disneyland.
And.... I'm finally here!
I'm back with my sister-from-another-mr!


Helsingborg is a gorgeous little town by the sea but I didn't get to see much of it last night.
I was exhausted from traveling so we chilled infront of a movie with pizzas.
Today Val got to play Swedish tour guide as she showed me around her pretty, sunkissed town.

Now I'm being shouted at to leave because we're heading out for a BBQ!
Catch up with you tomorrow!
