We didn’t have any morning walk today because my car would get the new winter tires, instead we had our first walk just around lunch time. The tires are not studded but still get a really good grip on icy roads. I must admit that I never fully feel safe with unstudded tires so therefor I always drive much more careful when not having that 🙂 🙂 🙂 Plus the car is so much more quiet with the unstudded ones.
I brought a camera with me of course so today You’ll see photos from elsewhere than usual. It wouldn’t take long to get those tires changed but I took a little walk anyway and also stopped at a cafe just beside the garage. They did have some things gluten free but not any of my favorites. I still bought a cookie and it actually tasted worse than they usually do 🙂 🙂 🙂 To make it even worse it was nasty expensive but what should one do when one want something to the coffee 🙂
The sun was shining but it still felt a bit too cold in the morning to make it enjoyable, especially since the wind still was pretty hard and Falköping is built on two mountains and the valley in between, so the wind reach everywhere, even between the houses. After that I went to a place called Forentorp ängar (Forentorp Meadows), I think it is a nature reserve even though cattle roam there most parts of the year. It is a favorite place of mine to stop at even though I really can’t bring the dogs just because of the cattle. One pasture in the middle of all trees has a table where one can sit and eat and drink coffee if one so wish and to be honest I’ve never seen cattle there.
The rest of the day has been rather calm and nice. We had our walk in the forest and Alma does behave much better still, the big test will be when we walk in to the village, so much things moving and sounding that she might not be able to stay calm. We will keep on trying though, she will calm down even if it perhaps don’t happen until she’s 13 🙂 🙂 🙂
I’ll show You photos from Forentorp tomorrow if I remember it 🙂 It is time for that last cup of tea and most likely a sandwich or two 🙂
Have a great day!

Hi blythedunbar!
Too bad I couldn’t walk further down where I used to walk when I was at another garage, more fun to walk there and rather different to this area. Maybe next time 🙂
Had a really good sleep 🙂

Fall (Autumn) in our northern climes is so beautiful. Then the stark outlines of winter, followed by the burgeoning Spring. Then the bounties of summer.
But in the northern lands, the year really starts with Fall, and harvest.
Had my winter tires put on last week, first snow (just a dusting or less) yesterday.
Sunny today, but not warm.
Best to all who read this.

Hi inspiredbyo!
I would gladly miss the winter part but agree with everything else 🙂
It has snowed at the northern parts of Sweden but so far thankfully not here. I admit that it is beautiful around Christmas. a light dusting on especially the spruces make the world look magical 🙂
Dull weather mostly today even though I think the sun shone through the clouds for an hour or so. Still unusually warm though 🙂
