I'm just waiting for my man to come home. It's quite interesting how much you can miss a person that you more or less have been spending every second with these last few days...

Last week we finally moved in to a room here in Catford! It's just enough for the both of us, we just have to get a table to put our stuff like keys and phones on. That was something we realised quite quickly that we needed. So we're going back to Ikea on sunday.

Today the weather was pretty warm and sunny, not as warm as it was my first day in London when we spent a few hours walking around in Kensington Gardens, but warm enough to sit outside enjoying it. If it's nice weather tomorrow too I'll probably take a walk to Bellingham and pick up a few things I've left there. Would be nice to get some sort of exercise.

I think I should take a shower and clean my dreadlocks as I've found my Knotty Boy Soap Bar (been looking for it for 2 days).

Here is a picture I took when we where in Kensington Gardens the other week. Spring time, baby!

Love xx

Two weeks and 3 days until I get to see my love again. Can't F****** wait!

Yeah I'm a bit nervous, but who wouldn't be? I mean, I'm leaving pretty much everything I know behind, to start something new. Well, well this is exactly what I want to do so, yeah, I'm doing it.

Tomorrow I'm going to Stockholm with my mum to have a whole day of mother-daughter time, doing all the things we love to do when we're there. Eat breakfast at our favourite café, look at wool in different shops, fabric, books, and the list goes on. Just hoping that we'll have nice weather so we can walk around enjoying the sunshine too.

I realised I have not written anything for a really long time...maybe I should write something.

It's a new year, 2012 to be correct, and something tells me that this might become the best year in my life. It's a beginning of something new. 2011 was a year filled with trouble, happiness, anxiety, new people, panic attacks, old friends, laughter and love. Yes, last year showed me that I have the strenght to stand up even when everything around me and inside me is falling to pieces.

Actually, I'm impressed by myself! I went to Scotland all by myself, to live and work, without knowing anyone and see how that turned out! I have amazing friends, that in some way turned into family, all around the globe. I'm so happy I met you all!

I also met this beautiful boy, who have brought so much happiness into my life that I don't know what I would do without him. It's driving me insane that I have to wait another five weeks before I get to see you again! You are the most amazing man I've ever met  

Now, in 2012, I'm planning another great change in my life. I'm moving to England, to live with that amazing man, 'cause I wouldn't cope to be without him here in Sweden. Though I'm going back to Scotland to work for six more months, it doesn't feel too unbearable when I know that we'll see each other as often as possible and that he stands behind me in my decision to go back and work at Camas. That means so much, I hope you know that xxx

Well, I think it's time for me to sleep. Night!

"second star to the right and then straight on til morning"

Love xx

I'm here again. Awake in the middle of the night. Why? Well... I've never really liked to sleep alone. I'm just staying awake until I'm so tired that I can't keep my eyes open, and then I will hopefully sleep the rest of the night.

"So she asked where he lived.

'Second to the right,' said Peter, 'and then straight on till morning.'

'What a funny address!'

Peter had a sinking.For the first time he felt that perhaps it was a funny address."

Peter Pan by J.M Barrie

Peter Pan must be the best thing to read or watch if you try to go to sleep.

Iona behind me. I'm leaving this amazingly beautiful island on tuesday.

The time on this wee island have been awesome and it will always be in my heart and mind.

This picture is from yesterday (fifth of november, Guy Fawkes).

My scotland/england adventure starts on tuesday with a trip to Inverness with awesome people. After that I will go to Glasgow for a few days before I go down to London and spend some more time with one of the most amazing persons I've ever met <3

I'll be back in Sweden on the 18th. What I'll do after that, I don't know. I'm gonna work at least during weekends in a shop in Stockholm. That will be fun! But it's not the same as working here on this fantastic place. Well, I will come back one day. Hopefully one day soon.

Love, Linnéa

because I can't come up with a headline.

Vollies have left and new vollies have arrived. Next week we don't have to say goodbye to anyone, that feels nice. I hate goodbyes.

This week the weather have been pretty nasty. Cold, rainy and really windy. I struggled to get back to the Mac after dinner yesterday!

Even though we have weather that is a bit to cold and windy for my taste you can get amazing pictures when the weather is like that, so here's a picture I took a couple of days ago.

After a week in bed with fever, cough and headache you do appreciate the fresh air and sunshine a whole lot more than before. No, it's never fun to be sick, but it's so much worse to be sick when you're not at home...

But now, I'm back at work. And I have christmas feelings... in october, with the sun shining outside and the grass is still green, I know it's insane but I can't help that we got christmas things delivered to the shop this week that we have to recive! Oh well, I like it.

This week I have booked my flight home to Sweden, but before I go home, I will go to both Inverness and London. I'm really looking forward to this! I hope that the weather won't be totally horrible in november.

I still have a couple of weeks left on this wee island, 6,5 weeks to be exact. I could stay here forever. I love it!

It's not always easy. It's not always fun. But so far, I feel at home. The wonderful people that surrounds me and keep me on track, without them, I would probably go insane. But yeah, I'm the crazy swedish girl anyway;)

I'm alive. I love almost every second of my life here.
