Sweden here I come... The first thing I always do when I get to Sweden, if I'm going to Nykoping, (that's where my family lives and where I grew up) is heading straight to a cafe for breakfast.. Normally Hellmans but also Princess (also featured in this blog) but this time I went to Norrkoping, ??!. I have not been there for like forever and lets face it - Norrkoping has never been the most interesting city in Sweden with all the depressing galleries.. But (there is a but..) the new little area in 'down town' is lovely, called Knäppingsborg. It's a few nice shops - a great interior design shop and a few cafe's and restaurants.. It's really nicely done though and now I will visit Norrkoping again..
Happy Easter!!!!
Me in Knäppingborg..
My mum loves buying some new fun chickens for the dining table...
My favo... I absolutely love lobster... and seafood in general...
A lot of 'mum time' this Easter - I was looking after my nephews (3) and niece quite a lot as well.. But, I also went to Trosa. Great little city summertime. Definitely check out Bomans if you're going there (well, actually, it's impossible to miss considering the place is tiny..). It's such a nice place (hotel/restaurant) to hang a nice sumer evening for dinner.. (sorry no pics..).
I woke up on the Monday morning and it looked like this outside - like seriously white. The previous days had been like 15 degrees and like proper spring.. Unbelievable... It disappeared during the day though.. Everyone there seems to be properly fed up with the snow now even my nephew Nils (6 years old) thought it was rubbish with more snow and he normally loves it..
Shopping in Stockholm.. Thanks to the amazing airline called Ryan Air, I can unfortunately not show you my new belongings considering I had some major trouble getting my stuff with me to the UK and left all of my new purchases in Sweden.. Thanks again Ryan!! ;)
Gertruds (a new interior shop) opened this Easter on Norrmalmstorg in Stockholm. The whole concept with the shop is bed - sofa - bath and thats basically the main things they sell with all accessories. Great stuff and loving the shop but not the cheapest..
Gertruds.

I had a quick breakfast in the basement cafe in NK in the morning with my mum.. (yeah, I'm being a bit rubbish - only pics on my mum from this Easter I know..). But, that means that I was having a holiday from my blog this Easter as well.. haha.
Princess in Nykoping.. This cafe has looked like this for like 50 years or so.. Probably even more!?? They've got the nicest 'bullar' in Nykoping for sure and loads of different ones to choose from - me like... We (me and my friends) used to sit here every day after school in secondary high school (sometimes during school time as well that is..) and drink like 15 cups of coffee/a day - it's actually still one of those cafes where you fill up your cup over and over again - 4 free.. The place used to stink of teenagers, coffee and cigarettes! Bjorn Borg used to sit there (not often but it happened) a few times as well - he used to use the tennis hall in Nyk..
It still looks exactly the same.. My dad says they used to have a grand piano and someone playing all day long when he was a kid but that is probably the only thing that has changed..
