We had a storm last night - the skies blacked out, the rain was in stair rods, the satellite signal was wiped out totally, and the thunder was directly above us. |

We went out at the weekend to Landskrona and found some wonderful Lingonberrys at a Farmers Market. Lingonberrys are sometimes called Cowberrys in the UK. We decided to make Lingonberry Jam. A sweet but rather tart jam that goes so well with Swedish meatballs (of IKEA fame) or fried herrings (though to be fair just about everything in Sweden is served with herrings of some kind) |

We were told by everyone at work that we were incredibly lucky to have a stream through our land, and we must have crayfish, especially as we had heron in there on a regular basis. It's August, it's crayfish season, so we decided to give it a go. |
