Floral freebees...

The world is in bloom.

Every day when the boys and I walk to school, we discover new explosions of colour and seductive perfumes from nature's own scented donors.

The other day, our stroll back from school turned into a flower picking expedition, which for me brought on sweet memories of midsummer preparations in Sweden.

Oh, how I wish we did not have to wait until the end of July (!) for our school summer holiday here!

I suppose the grass is always greener where you can't pick it so easily, and from having craved English interior magazines when I lived in Sweden, I now dream of fingering the seductive pages of a "Lantliv" or "Drömhem och Trädgård", or...

A big thank you to my mother for being my personal Swedish magazine shopper. You are doing a grand job!
