snapshots of a summery may... in stockholm!

what a month we've had!  i wore open toed shoes, swam in lakes, even dared to complain about the heat... all of these things are unheard of during may in stockholm!

just around the corner from home, going for a fika:

stockholm weekend pics, part two, vinterviken with stefan

the summer continues in stockholm... in may!!!

stefan and i took an afternoon for ourselves and biked to vinterviken, one of our favourite places to get away within the city.

lunching and fika-ing at winterviken is always, always, always delicious.

sunning on the grass until it was too hot, we then jumped into the icy lake - our first swim of the season - so refreshing. freezing, too!  but afterwards you can't help but want to jump in again and again.  it was lovely.

we whiled away the perfect afternoon :)

  

my kind of date :)
