CFFC: Events – Wild Flowers’ Day

19 juni, 2016 / Leya / 13 kommentarer

In the header – The caterpillars of the Peacock butterfly sitting on the upper parts, and, the undersides of leaves of a nettle plant.

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.

Celebrating Mother at Hovdala Castle

A nice lunch at the restaurant and then a stroll in the beautiful surroundings was perfect for my mother’s 81st birthday.

We were lucky with the weather…

…and with roses and poppies as well.

The conservatory has been restored over the years, and is now a building used for exhibitions as well as wedding ceremonies.

Inside is a cool, white dream.

My mother was happy today – and so were we.

Close encounters…with animals. First, my kite, who unfortunately did not make it in the end. Then, a dog I met in the Retiro Park, Madrid.

Lastly, look at Totti’s face when he had a close encounter with one of his first puppies – priceless.

Inget galler! Hu, vad är det här?

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….
