Thursday Thoughts – Magnificent Tullstorp
We were so fortunate to get a guided tour at Tullstorp, the world famous dressage stable run by Jan Brink. Situated only fifteen kilometres from where we live, this was a fantastic opportunity for a look into another world.

As a young boy Jan Brink played hockey in his home village, but as all the young girls were hanging at the stable, he gave the horses a chance…In some months he was hooked, and this was to be his future career. He studied at Flyinge and in Germany for some years, and then went for an international career.
Jan Brink is one of the best riders in the world and a seven-time Swedish dressage champion – five times on the number one dressage horse Björsell’s Briar.

Brink has won five medals in international championships, and in 2005 he was the first Swede to win the dressage championship in Aachen.

Jan Brink is a self-made man, and unbelievably hard working. Going for shampionships, educating new horses and riders – and top class horse breeding serving customers all over the world. According to him, having talent is far from enough – you must be prepared to work hard and go for your dreams.

The magnificent Tullstorp was built by a humble man, and a perfectionist – Jan Brink. Every detail in harmony.

CFFC: Events – Wild Flowers’ Day

Today is the Nordic event of Wild Flowers’ Day. Originating in Denmark, the purpose is to give people the possibility of finding, learning about and enjoying the diversity of wild plants in nature, in order to have an even more intense experience when spending time outdoors.
Det samnordiska evenemanget ”De vilda blommornas dag” har sina rötter i Danmark, där det har arrangerats ända sedan år 1988. Syftet med de vilda blommornas dag är att människor skall få möjlighet att upptäcka, lära känna och glädjas åt den mångfald av vilda växter, som vår natur bjuder på, och på så sätt få en rikare naturupplevelse.
This event started at 10 a.m and the flower walk, arranged by local botanists, lasted for three hours. I’ll be happy to bring you along! For more events, click here.

In spring everything is pure…Yesterday I met this beautiful demoiselle. In silence he watched me passing by.
Thursday Thoughts
We went to the summer house for some days. On the way, we caught our daughter at the airport – summer holidays are here. We also visited a very dear friend of ours and their 7 weeks old puppies. Totti was the proud grandfather – and his daughter Ella was the perfect mother. Busy days….

Meet some of the youngsters here! I do not have to tell you that they were Not posing…not a second…
I guess I got an extra heart ♥ swelling today.

Travel theme: Plants
Plants, butterflies and insects from a trip to a hidden valley in the Pyrenées. Gorgeous hikes and nature amazingly full of life.
This Astrantia major, common name great masterwort, and below, Eryngium maritimum, or the sea holly, are two of my favourite plants.
Love plants? There are more of them here, at Ailsa’s.
