Early November & Christmas shops are on – already. But who am I to complain, I love this time of year. The usual favorite, panettone is a tradition, which we always start the season with ⭐️



Semla is a famous Swedish cream bun, an old-fashioned dessert that was originally invented & eaten on Fat Tuesday, the last day of indulgence before Lent.
It’s made with a plain wheat bread bun lightly flavored with cardamom & cut in half. The inside is filled with a layer of almond paste & vanilla-flavored whipped cream. The top is placed on the whipped cream & the sweet creation is lightly dusted with a layer of powdered sugar.
Traditional practice is that the top should be eaten first & used to scoop the whipped cream. However, the oldest Swedish tradition is to serve the entire bun soaked in a plate of warm milk – the best way to eat a semla.

Genuine Christmas decor – with a feeling of a solid simplicity where tradition is inherited & important.

Circus creates a warm feeling in the stomach & evokes many beautiful memories from the time when our boys grew up. Each summer, & a number of visiting circuses around the country each season – we rushed to buy tickets for the evening show, dress up nicely (for some reasons) & queue up in popcorns & cotton candy lines before entry.
The mere sight of the tents in bright colours from the distance was enough to create excitement & anticipation.
