Den blomstertid nu kommer… Posted by jennie on May 19, 2011
As Swede living away from Sweden, I’m doing quite alright most part of the year. Whatever I crave for food-wise I can get at IKEA or various Swedish online shops, I go back home regularly to see my friends and family and since I work as a freelance journalist for Swedish magazines, most of my…
