Expedition

A lovely day – we’ve been busy working in the garden spending a lot of time outside. But, also cheering on our Swedish competitors in the Olympics – of course. Another couple of silver medals today – in sailing (Dahlberg/Bergström) and horseback riding (Peder Fredricson) (don’t know the exact terms of the events in English).

After a fantastic dinner we decided to do something fun together so we packed ourselves in one car (my sister decided to enjoy the evening in ur paradise) and drove down to Halltorps Hage, a nature reserve 35km south from us.

We were hoping to come across a hornbug / stag beetle – a very large bug (almost 10cm) that can be found there. We didn’t see any of those but plenty of sheep and cows. (Photo borrowed from ; Länsstyrelsen / Catharina Christensen.)

Almost 5k and close to 2 hrs walk later we drove back home again – happy with our little expedition.
