Our World: 27 December 2021

 It's that in-between time when you lose track of the day and time! Sorry for the delay in putting this up. :-)

Some of you will recognize my dear, departed Oscar in this shot.

Our World: Festive Edition 2021

 Another strange year is coming to the end...

Here's hoping you all have something good to celebrate!

Our World: 13 December 2021

 Today is Lucia in Sweden. It's a time when the light vanquishes the darkness and gives us hope.

Our World: Help-it's-December-already!

 Help! Only two and a half weeks to go before Christmas and I'm not ready at all! Maybe it's time to buy a present or two...

How prepared are YOU?

Our World: 29 November 2021

 I'm thankful for frosted fingers and frozen beauty... Winter is making an appearance over here.

Our World: 22 November 2021

 We've had some good snowfall here in Sweden!

Hope you're enjoying the weather wherever you are...

Our World: 15 November 2021

 I can't begin to tell you what fun it was to finally meet my family again after so long!

Our World: 8 November 2021

 England has finally lifted its quarantine rules for people who are vaccinated, so I'm finally flying over to see my family after 2 years and 4 months!

Have a great week!

Our World: Start-of-November 2021 Edition

 November already! Our clocks went back this weekend, which means it's dark a lot earlier in the afternoons.

Hope you all had a spook-tacular Halloween if you celebrated!

Our World: 25 October 2021

 I can't believe we're already in the last week of October! I've enjoyed seeing all your autumn (or spring) photos - so keep them coming.

Our World: 18 October 2021

This week has started with minus temperatures! I love these crisp autumn days!

11 October 2021

 Apologies to you all! I've only just noticed that last week's linky isn't up... I'm not sure what happened to the link.

Anyway - here's to a new attempt and a new week!

Our World: 27 September 2021

 Is there anything more delicious than autumn mist?

OUR WORLD: 20 September 2021

It's soon the autumn or spring equinox! The perfect balance between light and dark, day and night.

Our World: 13 September 2021

 Sorry about the delay - the linky didn't want to co-operate with me yesterday!

I'm looking forward to seeing all your great posts! Have a lovely week.

Our World: 6 September 2021

 The golden-rod is yellow;

The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.

Our World: 30 August 2021

 It's nearly September - one of my favourite times of year.

Which season is YOUR favourite?

Our World: 23 August 2021

 It's starting to feel a bit like autumn in the cool evenings and mornings.

Our World: 16 August 2021

First week back at work after a month's holiday... Urk! Please send me my motivation if you find it lying around somewhere... ;-)

Our World: 9 August 2021

 Are you enjoying the summer - or winter - depending on where you live?

Our World: 2 August 2021

 I can't believe my daughter is 20 today! We are celebrating! (This picture was taken in Venice in 2014.)

What are YOU celebrating this week?

Our World: 26 July 2021

 Sorry about forgetting to set up Our World last week! My summer holiday started and I really got into relax mode! :-)

Our World: 12 July 2021

 'Tis the season of ticks, big mosquitoes and - on calm evenings - hot air balloons.

Our World: It's July!

 Sorry about the delay... but everything should be working now.

Have a great week!

Our World: 28 June 2021

  Midsummer and the sky is on fire!

Our World: 21 June 2021

 Let's enjoy the dazzle of the longest day (if you're in the northern hemisphere) or the beauty of the winter solstice (in the southern hemisphere)!

Our World: 14 June 2021

 Green was the silence, wet was the light, the month of June trembled like a butterfly. -- Pablo Neruda

It's turning out to be a fabulous June!

Our World: June 7 2021

 After torrential rain, the sun came out and nature has gone mad in her lush dress of greenery and colour!

Our World: Start-of-June

Time seems to be flying! It's been extremely cold and wet here, but today the sun finally decided to shine. What a difference it makes to our mood!

Our World: 24 May 2021

 We all need to take time to smell the flowers along the way ... no matter how busy or stressed out we are. (Or in this case, it's fine to enjoy the dandelions - great food for bees!)

Our World: 17 May 2021

 All things may seem possible in May - but for us it's been cold (not to mention the pollen)!

Our World: 10 May 2021

Hoping that vaccinations are being rolled out everywhere! 

Stay safe - and stay kind!

Our World: It's-already-May!

 Have an a-may-zing May!

And I hope you're not all having the cold weather we are still having! 

Our World: 26 April 2021

 Days are getting longer with delicious light. (But boy, is it still cold!)

 Spring is here with snow, flowers, laughter and - atchoo! - pollen.

Our World: 12 April 2021

 Back to snow and minus temperatures and then rain... typical spring weather!

Our World: 5 April 2021

 April Fool's Day has been and gone already: it seems to be the only day of the year that we all question what we read on the Internet... :-)

Still cold here, but some brave flowers are blooming anyway.

Our World: 29 March 2021

 How can it be the end of March already? 

Our World: 22 March 2021

 Wouldn't the world be a beautiful place if we spread love as fast as we spread hate?

Our World: 15 March 2021

To paraphrase Charles Dickens, March is one of those months (at least here in Sweden) 'when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold'. 

But to tell you the truth, after a severe snowstorm last week, winter is still making its last stand. 

Our World: 8 March 2021

 8th March and another International Women's Day comes round. I long for the day when we all have equal rights and pay no matter which gender or non-gender we identify as.

Our World: Hurray-it's-March-Edition

 It's March already! Soon it will be spring or autumn for real (depending on which hemisphere you live in).

Our World: 22 February 2021

 Our days are getting longer and lighter! And the birds are back!

Our World: The-love-edition 2021

 In the words of Seneca:

"Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness."

And kindness is a way of making love visible.

Our World: 8 February 2021

 I updated my iOS and was thrown out of Blogger... Let's hope it's working now.

Another week of possibilities!

Our World: Start-of-February-already Edition

 It's February already and we're having some polar weather! What about you?

Our World: 25 January 2021

 Hope you are all doing well and making the most of the light. I loved Amanda Gorman's poem 'The Hill We Climb'.

When day comes we step out of the shade,
aflame and unafraid,
the new dawn blooms as we free it.
For there is always light,
if only we're brave enough to see it.
If only we're brave enough to be it.

 

Our World: 18 January 2021

 We finally got a lot of snow!

Our World: 11 January 2021

 I'm trying to ignore the political madness going on and just enjoying the small moments of beauty.

How are you doing?

Our World: 4 January 2021

 Got to remember to write 2021 now! 

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season.
