Kungabröllop


Vad härligt med allt glitter, kärlek och härlighet som vi kunde skåda i lördags.

Vi hade en härlig helg, det började på lördagenmed att vi lämnade Fredrik i Avalon för att gå Military Tattoo med AirCadets. Resten av oss gav oss iväg till Palm Beach - ihärlig vintersol - tog en kaffe och satt på stranden ett tag. Oliver lekte och hade helmysigt.
Vi såg en säl som låg länge och lekte i vattnet inte långt från vattenbrynet - den verkligen lekte och vinkade till oss.



Sen framåt natten, när de flesta sov hemma, bestämde jag mig för att sitta uppe och se det Kungliga bröllopet - Tack till SVTplay som släppte det live till oss utanför Norden på nätet.
Jag satt framför min dator, i skön fåtölj bredvid elementet, iklädd varmt, med stearinljus och champagne och tittade tills brudparet var ungefär vid Djurgårdsbron. Sen var det läggdags.
Sen när jag vaknade på morgonen kunde jag se resten av festligheterna.

We are back!


The family Westling are now back on this blog - our other blog had mysteriously disappeared - the wonders on technology.

Update:

Jessica is in Switzerland to learn french, working as an au-pair in a great family, living near Morgins in Port de Soleil.

Fredrik is in year 11 and studying hard - lots of extra classes and extension work going on - he
is currently doing an extra course at one of the Universities in Sydney.
We also attended the schools Debutante Ball in May with him - a nice experience.

Oliver has picked up Swedish more and more and how speak Swedish more than English at home. He is also learning how to ride a bike with two wheels, no training wheels.


Niclas is working in Surrey Hills and enjoying the atmosphere there, he also gets to travel to Melbourne now and then.
Sanna has a new job as and Executive assistant working for a coach-leadership trainer in Mosman part time on a freelancing contract.

Oliver and Sanna spent March in Stockholm visiting the family.

Last week we had an american student staying with us from Atlanta, Georgia - it was very nice to get to know her.

Winter is here in Sydney - and after 3-4 weeks of rain the sun has now decided to join us and the weather is a little on the chilly side - but beautiful. Mostly it is the cold indoors that get to us - heaters are running but the house needs some more insulation.
