My friend Caroline and her mate Marcus is here during the weekend. We are enjoying the fabulous Swedish summer weather and Bergslagen from it´s best side.
In a way, at the moment, I´m traveling the backyard of where I live. Sometimes this is the best.
Canon 5D Mark iii, 24-105 mm Canon lens as well as 50mm lens from Canon, edited in Lightroom.
When Marcus and Caroline arrived we prepared some hard bread with Bredsjö blå and hjortronsylt (cloudberry jam). We enjoyed it with a bottle of wine and some more..
Martin prepared a secret jar that will be ready in a week.
Me and Caroline posed for a full shot photo. Her wearing a desigual and me in my kaftan from Röda korset and my Moheda wooden shoes.
Martin guided us through Måltidens house in Grythyttan.
Where he showed us a kitchen that comes up from the floor (and got stuck on the way down, creating a bit of stress .. ).
He continued with Grythyttans Gästgiveri and their Magnificent wine cellar.
And Stallet (the Stable), a part of the Gästgiveri where we had dinner and some cider. In Stallet they had a crazy cat that loved people and came up through a whole in the ground in the house.
Later in the evening I showed Caroline and Marcus the secret board where I get all the gossip and information about Grythyttans future happenings.
Last stop being Cornelis where I had a fruit beer from Belgium. We then wandered home exhausted from a day with many adventures in Grythyttan.

Lovely journeys once again!!!
Thanks. My home actually 🙂
A lovely day, beautiful Katarina – and lovely photos to remember it by. 🙂 I know about cloudberries, that are available for so very short a time each year; so I know that jam must be VERY EXPENSIVE !! But equally yummy. Having now seen photos of Martin when young and extremely hairy, I realize you two have been together for ages and ages – which is very nice.
Haha yes 🙂 4 years. Yeah- cloudberries cost around 10-15 dollars a bottle. 🙂 but i love the jam. Do you have it?
No. alas ! – everyone I have ever read speaking of cloudberries raves about them.
raves about them? what does that mean? Do you have any or ave tried? Isn´t it a arctic berry? I think it mostly grows on mires up here, am I right?
It ONLY grows up there, that’s what I’ve read.
To rave about something is one of two moods: either you’re being wildly enthusiastic, or you’re being infuriated. You choose. [grin]
Aha ok. 🙂 Well. They are the best. The gold of the north 😉
Yes, I think I’ve read that description of them. They only grow for a couple of weeks, or something horrible similar, right ?
Not sure at all, but we have many berries and they don´t grow all summer, just a part I think. We have bluberries, and lingonberries as well.
but the golden berries (clcoud) are more rare.

Tells me why … so subject to weather, not to mention human predators. 😉
Yes, But they also gror on specific ground and this is also more rare
In other words, the cloudberry must be the most delicious AND rare fruit we know of ! I’m surprised the jam didn’t cost more !
Yeah. It is the best!!!
En skön serie. Gillar katten på bordet. Ser busigt ut. Och så gillar jag också hur Martin försöker blåsa liv i parasollen. Eller testsmakar han den? 😉
Haha. Ja vem vet?! Katten var busig. Kommit på att stallet var hans place. 😉
Desigual is everywhere in Spain and very popular. They have opened here in HK and we walk past regularly on out way to a restaurant. I’ve never once seen a customer in there. I think Asian tastes must be very different. H&M does very well here and so does Zara. I’ve never seen cloudberries. You all look very happy and contented with life.
Yes, Desigual is ”not similar” or ”unlike” in Spanish and we have realtions there so we have traveled there (my boyfriend has) and yes, we go a little mad with these clothes but it is since scandinavian design, as HM are more strict and discrete.. 🙂 Zara is also Spanish but is more like Scandinavian design. I am very happy and contented with life 🙂
A fine day out all round, Katarina.
It sure was. It has been awesome weekend! 🙂 more photos coming later most likely 🙂
Fina bilder igen. Gillar bilden på Carro o Markus i orange/blått. Snyggt!
