A few Golden Moments from my Easter Weekend.

4/21/2019 2:46 PM Life

Come Easter weekend, spring turned into summer for a few days. This sudden shift in our climate that we've seen during the last few years - with boiling springs & summers up here in the North sure is worrying, yet in that very moment - I'm not going to lie, the warmth of the sun dancing on my face sure felt good.

The family kicked off Easter by spending Good Friday with a BBQ on the cliffs by the sea. We ate some locally produced foods, drank some beer from a few countries over and talked about our upcoming family holiday to the South.

It's knowing that days like these will eventually roll around, that get us Swedes through our long & dark winters each year. And the moment those sun rays hit our pale faces in spring, the darkness of winter is somehow forgotten - in the blink of an eye.

Lost Postcards from Mallorca.

Even though the days are getting lighter again and the sun warms our little pale faces (some days) - many of us tend to find ourselves reminiscing about summer. Of course, I am no different.

These photos are some that were placed on my portalble hard drive labaled 2018 - and shame on me for not letting them see the light of the Internet. So, from me to you, a few postcards from my holiday in Mallorca last summer - that somehow got lost.

1. I love magazines. Like - love. Fun fact: I have a massive collection of old British Vogue that I was gifted from my mum’s Brit friend.

2. Speaking of, I like to buy a Vogue from every country I’ve been to - if they have Vogue, of course. Last out was Japan & Spain!

3. My eyes are very dark brown - close to black, but weirdly get lighter every year.

4. I am a deeply emotional person, yet hate showing myself vulnerable to others.

5. I have the worst (or you know, *best*) sense of humor.

1, 2, 3, sluuuurp

6. I used to work in a bookshop, and loved it!

7. Speaking of books, my all time favourite book is Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.

8. And one of my favourite quotes is ”Comparison is the death of joy” - also Mark Twain.

9. I’ve lived in both Australia & Italy and they are two places that will always & forever hold a big chunk of my heart.

10. Pasta and feta cheese run through my veins, and so does coffee.

11. I am an old soul and still refuse to have my calendar in my phone, and walk around with an agenda.
