Rae & Linda's house in Ilbåcken, Dalarna, Sweden

We left Sunday afternoon and flew to
Heathrow Airport in London, England


Loved seeing Harrod's
and the lovely tea cups. 

Then to the beautiful Swedish countryside. 

We stayed with Anders and Irene and visited Rune.  

Tuesday was on to Ilbåcken to see Rae & Linda and their wonderful acreage. 

Elwood loves their barn. 

Rae & Linda in front of ...


their old house and their new house. 
Haha. 
Both are on their property but 
the teen boys have claimed the old one.


Up in the barn hay loft. 
Loaded with fun things to see 

And lots of hay. :)


 Enjoyed coffee in their cute kitchen


The next morning we prepared for Fika
with 11 of the relatives. 


Gun-Britt Nilsson and Ingrid Kilander


Gun-Britt, Rae, Helena Kilander, Matîas,  Magdalena


Ingrid Elovsson,  Linda & Gun-Britt


I'm in the mix now.  :) 

Linda, Helena & me. 


Then out to explore
The outdoor shower in Skamhed


And the yummy blueberries and 
lingonberries growing wild

Matz and his parents, Sven-Erik & Margareta joined us for supper. 


We went and saw Michelle's champion horse. 
And her many, many jumping trophies.


Then a little work around the yard,


And finishing the grass cutting.


Our lovely room, upstairs.


The spinning wheel 


The very famous pattern in  the Dalarna region


The next morning it was berry picking time. 



And packing us to leave. :( 



  A stop here on the way back to Upsala 

where one of Linda's grandparent was from.


We always find the church and walk around the graveyard. 
This time looking for Rumbloms


We went inside the church 

Elwood preached :) 


We met some of the Israelsson's for supper.  
Here Karin is helping us all order. 
It was complicated.  
But delicious


Tomorrow we head way, way, way up north.
