Winter has arrived in Uppsala

We woke up this morning to this view of the garden, and a temperature of -8 C.

So it's a morning of clearing the snow, and then staying indoors in front of a log fire.

It's a beautiful sunny day now with a clear blue sky. Virve is even thinking of getting out her cross country skis!

Our trip to the Riviera in late October. (The pics start from the bottom)

Goodbye Riviera. See you soon.

Our day of departure, on the beach at Cannes sur Mere, Just down the road from Vence

Another view from the balcony

Cold and dark in Sweden but nice in Nice on the balcony

Looking towards the sea from the pool.

We spent a week in Nice in late October and explored the riviera. These are some pics of the flat we stayed in and the pool.

This is the view from the balcony, you cant see the sea for the haze unfortunately.
