Monday

After 24 hours of rain Mats had to work hard to put the rubbish on fire at our summer house. He had promised hot dogs, so he couldn't give up, and he's efforts payed of after almost an hour.
Caroline, Uffa (Mats brother) and Maja (Olivia's cousin) came to visit us. It was very nice to see them, but unfortunately it was so cold and damp we had to spend most of the time indoors - where it was at least a few degrees warmer.
Vera-Mei found a lot of new toys and was in a good mood.
Maja had grown a lot since we saw her last time, and her hair is really long now.
Olivia with the beautiful smile!

Olivia and Uffa.
When we left the summer house in the afternoon, suddenly the sky was blue! I, Granny, Olivia and Vera-Mei went to see some Granny's friends for a short visit. They have sheep and the first two little lambs were born the other day. Olivia was thrilled, but a little scared. Vera-Mei was in chock, as it seemed, not impressed at all.
Olivia wants to go back another day, she wants to bottle feed the lambs. We'll see how that goes, as Olivia thought she was safest when held by me or Granny.

... who wasn't afraid at all, not even when mummy Sheep complained loudly as Granny lifted the white baby lamb.


Mats is back in Sevenoaks, he left at 5 am this morning. He will be back Friday night, gepending of the outcome of our correspondence with the British Embassy regarding Vera-Mei's visa application. Fingers crossed!
