Windy day in Malvik
Back in Malvik again and it’s a blustery day and really dry and still quite warm in the garden with no rain now for 2 weeks and only 20% of the month average in September!

The Red Sea of Malvik
This morning, the fjord turned red…
Sunrise wake-up
8th September and I woke to the sun’s rays shining into my bedroom (the door to the balcony was open) and another spectacular sun-rise it was. Sun-rise will within a few days be directly over the tip of Malvikodden and that’s a turning point in my world towards autumn!
Mushrooming 20th August 2016
Some pictures from yesterday evening’s trip to the woods looking for fungi!! After several years with almost no ceps / porcini, I found about 10 in good condition together with chantarelles, hedgehogs, slimy spike caps, saffron milk caps and puffballs and the woods were full of inedibles!
I also found yellow bird’s nest (vaniljerot) for only the 3rd time here! Who would believe it would be classified in the blueberry family (Ericaceae). It lacks chlorophyll, and gets its food through parasitism upon fungi (that form a myccorhiza with trees), rather than photosynthesis…
20 Runner Beans is better than nothing!
This is about the total yield of my runner beans this cool summer, but the first garlic (Alexandra) looks promising!
Alys Fowler on ATW in the Guardian
Thank you so much Alys Fowler!!!
She has apparently been “trailing round the house with my copy (of ATW), unable to put it down.” :-D

Here’s a few shots from Alys and “hard working” cameraman Simon on assignment in my garden on that wonderful visit in July 2010 when Malvik was showing off its best …I remember Alys saying that this must be paradise….
The garden later featured in Alys’ book The Thrifty Forager:
