Cream buns

Home made cream buns. Grandma is the best!

Cool biker

Leya loves her bike. She falls and cries a lot, but she still loves to ride it.

Spring cleaning

Time for some spring cleaning.
Dad's old Ford is going in the garage and it hasn't been used for a car in more than 20 years, so there are things to throw or at least move.What to keep and what to throw? That is the eternal question.

IKEA

IKEA is the shit! Like one of my Swedish friends said today.
We don't have IKEA in India, so we are doing some serious shopping for the café during our stay here in Sweden.

IKEA drinking glass. I want coloured drinking glasses for the café, but where can I find it in Delhi? I think I have to pack our luggage full and bring these darlings to India.
And how about the tray? Pink is INDIA and IKEA! Love them both!Cool jugs! We will serve bottled water for free!I love coloured glass bottles! Found these at IKEA today. Perfect for serving water! Only the best and cutest is good enough for Leya's Café. Heart shaped ice cubes made from bottled water. How about that!

Wednesday

Our dear Wednesday's new family. Since we are living in India now we want the best for her and this family will take care of her as one in the family.
I cried crocodile tears when they left, but I know in my heart she will be fine.
