For once when I've been back home in the winter have Sweden had the decency to snow on me!
Since my track record of crashing into things/things crashing into me is so stellar I obviously took the opportunity to take my nieces out and throw ourselves down hills on sleds. In the dark. Not considering the trees grown in the slopes. Or the rocks.
Firstly, when did I become an absolute sissy??? So I make my first attempt to go downhill being cocky as you will not believe - only to jump off the sled before it's even caught speed and instead I roll down hill in my not so winter appropriate gear. Next attempt - I jump off mid hill as it's getting steeper to do what any responsible grown up would do and let my 7 year old niece ride down by herself. And unlike her loser of an aunt she did not chicken out and jump off.

So, thank you Sweden for the snow - but even more so for the mulled wine back inside!
