Advent fika

Today we went up to the small village of Herräng (see "A" on map), about an hour and a half north of Brottby (2hr 15 min north of stockholm), where Cajsa's mom lives, to have Advent fika and go to the Christmas market (Julbazar). It was pretty cold there and the snow was about up to our knees.

When we first got there we had glögg (mulled wine) and pepparkakor (gingerbread cookies). Then we had venison and potatoes for lunch before bundling up and walking to the chirstmas market. The sky there was SO beautiful, especially once the sun started to go down. After the market we went back to Cajsa's mom's for Advent fika with coffee, saffron buns, more pepparkakor and a cloudberry cake. It was jättegott!

For reference, I live in "Vallentuna"
