I went to a gallery today, Dunkers in Helsingborg, to see the exhibition on Vivian Maier – a brilliant street photographer. More about her tomorrow…
When I passed by an open door, I saw there was a room for children to play in. At the far end was a giant bed full of cushions and roses, and there they had snuggled up…to read about the world’s strongest and most kind little bear – Bamse. I wish I could have snuggled up there too.
Things that are wet…great possibilities again from Cee. I came across an old picture …how wet is this?

Cook for Sylvain Landry this week. We are all longing for spring and summer now, and I thought I should shake you up a bit… I do not know if the header drinks will fit in, so I add
… the strawberry cake of course!
Getting up early you will often be greatly rewarded. Silence, Only You, Magic in the air.

Patti Moed over at Pilot Fish runs a series featuring Trailblazers from all over the world. I was lucky enough to get my nominee, Astrid Lindgren, featured! Do read about the other interesting trailblazers – some of them you may never have heard of.
This week’s guest blogger is Ann-Christine Påhlson, who is introducing our first Pilot Fish Trailblazer nominee from Sweden. Ann-Christine, who is a marvelous photographer and writer, hosts the blog Leya. Her nominee is the author of the book Pippi Longstocking, loved by children and adults around the world.
And so I write the way I myself would like the book to be – if I were a child. I write for the child within me. — Astrid Lindgren

My children and I hopped on the Story Train at Junibacken in Stockholm about a dozen or so years ago, for a journey through the recreated, imaginary children’s world of the writer Astrid Lindgren. It was her own voice, so familiar, that guided us through the journey.
We listened to her stories, with lumps in our throats and tears in our eyes…

The sun spread its glory from a blue sky today – Spring is coming! My state of mind says I am dancing with the tulips, even if they are fading. Even if I am fading. The world is still beautiful on a day like this.
My daughter used to play concerts, transverse flute and guitar. Now she only plays in the university orchestra. Here she is dressed up for a concert, some years ago.

They say the lark has arrived in Skåne – the southernmost landscape of Sweden. That is where I live, but I have not heard her yet…Every year they come early, trying to be the first ones to find a place to nest…and every year some of them will die – when winter will not let go. Nesting on the ground is dangerous in any case.
That is the way life works. You have to be brave and take risks in order to succeed. Migrating birds, people who have to leave their home countries in order to survive. But we all have to face this – maybe not risking our lives…but still.
And Winter has not loosened his grip, yet. We are patiently waiting…all except Totti. This is his season, his temperature, his joy. Lagotto Romagnolos do not come with a zip…
