Dreaming of Lapland

On our way to Lapland



The elf brothers

Elf School, Lapland

Husky sleigh ride


Auntie Lulu and friend

Home Sweet Home
Dreaming of Lapland.

Of snowy scenes
Of ginger biscuits
Of the mysteries of the eight seasons.

Honest birch trunks
Plumy white branches,
The spirit of Christmas
Infused into every aspect of life.

Secret dreams come true
When you beat the drum three times,
Shows the magic of intent expressed through ritual,
Brings what is desired.

I long for the open fires
With that heartwarming smell;
Drinking hot berry juice
Watching breath turn icy.

The beauty of the wooden buildings
Blending with the nature.
There is a feeling of balance; of fairness
And for the children, magical memories
To last a lifetime.

I hope I carry a little bit back with me,
A new perspective on life,
An enthusiasm for change.
Teaching our boys how to be in the world
To embrace change and learn how to make the best of things.
I learn to keep our family on track as a matter of priority
And for it to be fun and life-changing for us all.



Thank you Universe for the opportunity of this wonderful trip and thank you Auntie Lulu for taking us with you xxx
