Going on a picnic with Z and J

#1 – If it is raining or snowing has no bearing on the fact that hotdogs are cooked in the forest over a fire on weekend outings.






#2 – It can be hard to find friends that will go with you on your outing because not everybody else adheres to #1. Z and J’s friends M and J do adhere to #1, so they are good friends for snowy-day picnic outings.

#3 – Since I haven’t made up my mind yet if I adhere to #1, having never participated in such an endeavour, I participate gladly with the help of the extra wool underwear Z lent me.

#4 – The baby has no choice – and similar to #1, baby diapers can be changed multiple times in the forest when the need arises. The baby is so used to #1 that she has no problem sleeping through the whole thing.




#5 – Quality food is important: For example, Coffee and hot chocolate, homemade flat bread for the hotdogs, roasted bananas and chocolate, bread that you cook on a roasting stick over the fire, and homemade sweet rolls. Yummy.



#6 – Next to a well-made fire with good friends and food, one can sit quite warmly and happily for a long time, enjoying the beautiful sights, sounds and smells of the early winter forest.


#7 – It is pure divinity to come home and warm up with a nice shower and snuggle a little happy baby near the crackling antique stove in the kitchen.

#8 – Good luck getting me to come home, Mikael. You’re going to have to make me a pretty good offer.
