Mona said they used to do this when they were kids. Her mother would make a "sofa" out of snow, but this time there was TOO much snow for this to be possible

Mona dug some old snow shoes out of the cupboard. I always thought they looked like tennis rackets, but not these

Much redder than I can capture with my camera. Also very shy - any movement and it is gone. Mona said they call it a "judge bird", Domherre. Thanks to Ebba, I know now it is a Eurasian Bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula)

This is the photo from Britta's 90th birthday. She was a keen folk dancer when younger, and this is her traditional Swedish costume. You have to make it yourself - you cannot buy a real one

I've always wanted to try this. You get a bucket of water. Put it outside to freeze overnight. The sides and top freeze, and the inside will freeze last. You tip it out, break the thin ice and empty out the water. Voila! Ice lantern to put a candle in. You can add leaves, petals, anything pretty,
