Smultron

A "smultronställe" is a favorite place that you want to keep a secret. It is also a movie by Ingmar Bergman. Smultron is also the Swedish name of the wild strawberry. It is a very tiny and sweet berry. Whenever I manage to find a few "smultron" I will eat them with my "filmjölk" for breakfast. Luckily for me there are a few "smultronställen" at Bergdalen where I live and that's where I took these photos.

Summer treats

It looked like a thunderstorm was quickly approaching Tungelsta so I walked up the hill at home to see from which direction it came. And while walking through the little forest I stumbled upon the first blueberries of the season. I had a quick look around and it looks like I will be serving a blueberry pie tonight. Possibly topped with smultron, or wild strawberries if you like. Just to make you a little hungry I have added what the pie will probably look like.

Look what I found!

Wild Strawberries. Only 10 meters from my door. We call them Smultron. And Blueberries. Had to walk around 20 meters from my back door to find these. We call them Blåbär.
