Northern Sweden

My first ever visit to northern Sweden took place this past weekend. Maria was working in Sollefteå for 2 weeks so I took a cheap flight to visit and have a closer look at the northern part of our country. An interesting weekend with something of a japan tour around the coastline. Passing over the Höga Kusten Bron(the High Coast Bridge) one of the longest hanging bridges in the world was nice and it was nice to see the really big rivers. not as dark and not as much forest as I had expected. But compared to the big city it is very deserted and  not much is open.  much is closing down and a lot of young people are moving south. a sad feeling lingers over the whole area

Bad day!

Got home from work and found my car brooken into. smashed side window and the car full of glass.
Nothing really valuable stolen but a real pain in the as with the time this will take to sort.
you would have thought the car was safe in a locked garage under your appartment.

The house in Murviel les Béziers

Finally some more pictures from the house

Buying house in France

Have spent the weekend looking for a house or an appartment in Languedoc in France. Have seen a lot of objects and the thoughts we had when we went here and the thoughts we had after the first day were quite different. The thoughts after the second day was again different from yesterday. We have now made a short list and have now made an offer on 2 townhouses in villages 20 min from the coast. Both in good shape and one is completely ready except for the couloring inside. The intention was to find a starting point but I think we ended up with places were we can actually see us living in the future. 14 golfcourses in the area and wine as far as you can see.

And the winter continues!

Every new day brings a new snowstorm and we have not had this much snow since 1995!!
Today we ventured out into the cold landscape and even though it looks nice it was freezing. Still some nice pictures
