I know that it’s been a long time since I last updated here, sorry ! I would like to thank everyone that is coming back all the time and that regularly come here to follow our blog ❤. The motivation has been low since we got back to Sweden, and when we were in Portugal we focused on enjoying each second there so I barely started the computer in two weeks  ?

But now it’s time to update you about the latest news.

We went to Portugal during the school-break and finally my dad came and visited us for a couple of days ❤ he hasn’t seen the house live, only through Skype and picture so it was REALLY nice that they had the opportunity to come and visit us. BUT! Me and Fredrik managed to get an nasty flue on the way down to Portugal so sadly we couldn’t show all the things we wanted to show, we had a high fever for several days and rested mostly in bed. We hope that they come visit soon again so we can show them all the cool stuff our neighbourhood has to offer!

Anyway, it was really nice to have them around for a couple of days and they really enjoyed Portugal.

Luckily they managed to keep busy while we were sleeping away the fever ? They managed to swap a toilet, some faucets and build some furniture ?

We really appreciate that they fixed these things, we have a list of things to fix and we are really glad that they managed to minimise that list ? My dad is outstanding when it comes to fixing things and he knows a lot of stuff, it doesn’t matter if it concerns replacing faucets, toilet or to program the electronic gates so Fredrik can open them from his smartphone ?

The days got back to normal when we were back in Sweden, home-work, packing stuff and cooking other types of food. Junior had some homework with him to Portugal so he wouldn’t fall behind.

We feel that it’s hard to travel this much and especially when you don’t want to go back to Sweden … So … Now it’s for real! The date is set when we leave Sweden for Portugal, the trip is booked so now our house number #1 looks like this:

We have moving boxes in each room that we enter ? but it’s ok! It’s amazing that we finally have a date set and a specific goal to work towards, it’s A LOT of work to pack down a whole house that a family (us) have lived in for the last 10 years but we will do it!

We left this …

And came here ? The choice is not hard for us anymore, it will be a lot of work and everyone feels differently. Some people like to have four seasons (or what do you call it in Sweden? ?) and some don’t. So we think that all this work will definitely be worth it.

This time we faced different types of weather again, not just warm and sunny, something we really like and one of the reasons why we decided to buy a house in this area.

No matter how the weather is, we think it’s so beautiful here and we really love our house and the adventure we are living ❤
