A lovely warm and sunny day, so we biked to Bögs gård, a farm on the edge of Järvafältet nature reserve. A pleasant bike ride through a variety of suburban green spaces, ranging from a disc golf park to forests and water meadows.

It was about 20 km altogether and I wasn’t sure whether Ingrid would be able to do it, but it was no problem at all. I have been underestimating her I guess.


The anemone fields in the forest were mind-boggling. They covered the entire forest floor and spread as far as I could see.

At Bögs gård we had lunch and ice cream and looked at the animals – chickens, goats, pigs and calves. The neighbouring Väsby gård also had calves, of hairy Scottish highland cattle. The calves looked like a cross between calf and bear, and behaved like puppies, running and leaping and bouncing around.
