Hello everyone,

Happy New year!

My last week has been spent in the south of Sweden skiing in the mountains with Anton and his family. (I know,i know....its a hard life!). The place we were at was called Sälen. Its about a five hour drive north/west of Stockholm.(Not that anyone would know where that is anyway!)

As you could imagine I had a great time! We stayed in a lovely cabin with views of the mountains. Everyday was spent skiing and then relaxing  in the cosy cabin. It was only my second time skiing. On the first day i was finding it very difficult, and getting extremely frustrated trying to ski down the slope without hurting myself. Whenever i felt confident i would always fall(Very hard,Im still bruised). After the second day i was loving it! Im still not very good, but good enough to go down the slopes without stopping or hurting myself!

On the third day everyone went across to Norway to ski. We didnt go because anton was sick on that day. I have put in photos of their day in Norway anyhow.

The weather here is still warm for this time of year. There wer'nt many slopes open in Sälen due to the lack of snow! But we still managed to have great fun on the slopes!

There really isnt much else to report! We have still been doing the same things in Eskilstuna. New years eve was spent in Sålen. Anton and I fell asleep before 12 but i was woken by the fire works right outside my bedroom window. It was really nice to watch them over the snowy mountains!

Anton and I have decided to move to a city called Götberg. It is the second biggest city in Sweden.It is on the west coast. The next month will be spent looking for apartments,jobs etc. 

Sorry there isnt much to write about at the moment.Things are very quite here,but still very nice!

Hope everyone is well in Oz!!
