Today I'm not entirely sure whether it's spring or autumn as the rain keeps pouring down and the air is damp and bleak. I've lit some candles to spread a bit of warm light and the scent of cinnamon. The lake behind our home is...
The area that we live in is shaped by its history of mining. The copper mine of Falun is probably the best-known one as it once produced 2/3 of Europe's copper needs and its by-products resulted in red paint for houses all over the country....
Last week we woke up to a world covered under a cold white blanket, and even this week we're expecting some snow, but in between, it's pretty obvious that spring has arrived. Finally, we're seeing delicate flowers popping up and my nose is getting a...
