Mothering Sunday, a surprise picnic, and a relaxing evening on the patio

 My mother
  My cousin Annika called: "Where are you going for coffee today? I found this fab place, why don't you come too?" Very well, off we went to Boningshuset just outside Svalöv pretty much in the middle of nowhere.
A whole buffet with cakes and cookies, coffee, loads of different teas ... and of course ice cream!
4 mothers (one behind the camera!) having a lovely afternoon together. The house was built in 1847 and used to be a working farm, and is now a life style shop with café in a very Swedish sort of old fashioned surrounding with a big garden full of old plants and trees ... and plenty of space for fun and games.
We were joined by yet another mother ... a proper mums' rally :-)

A friend, who has become a very dear friend over the years, called and said she would only be around to meet up while I was in Sweden the next couple of days. So, come down to Malmö and we will have lunch! Great.
I arrived by train at Triangeln's train station. She was alredy waiting in the sun with a fully loaded bike. "Let's go for a walk". Ok ... ?? She took me to Pildammsparken, a nice big park in the heart of Malmö and started unpacking ... 
Need I say more? We had a wonderful afternoon with very interesting discussions. 
Thanks for sharing, Kaisa!

Completely relaxed and with my head filled with new thoughts and inspiring ideas I eventually took the train back to Dösjebro and spent the evening on my parents' patio ...
Cheers!
