A day filled with mixed feelings.
Totte didn’t wake up this morning (my sisters family’s pet rabbit since close to 12 years) so it was a sad start of the day. 🐇
We had planned a trip to Kalmar and decided to stick with those plans and we had a nice day down there. Five of us went and the rest stayed home. L took the bus back to Stockholm today so now we are down to 11 again.
July 24th means that it is Kristina’s names day today and we always celebrate this day with a strawberry cake. My mom made the cake, my oldest niece put it together and I decorated it. Team effort! And it turned out great.
Castle of the month – Kalmar
Field trip day down to Kalmar for some shopping and touristing with our guests.
Castle of this month is Kalmar Slott even though my hubby didn’t come along for the ride. Maybe we’ll visit the castle once more this month.
As you can read on its website – “Kalmar Castle is a symbol for Kalmar. Its history features international politics, court intrigues, fiery sieges and fierce battles. Today the castle is a vibrant and lively place, welcoming guests from near and far. Now it’s your turn to visit. Come write the latest chapter in its 800 years of history.”
