The weeks are flying past so quickly at the moment. The kids are only just back to school and yet, in our household at least, the conversation has already turned to plans for Christmas.  Before we get carried away with ourselves let’s put the brakes on for a while and have a cup of tea and catch up with what has been going on this week:

From Elsewhere

• We are in love with this simple garden shed given a scandi makeover by Jeska over at Lobster and Swan. we never thought we’d have so much shed envy. read here
• As the nights draw in we are starting to think about making the cottage cosier. Kayleigh from Hello Hygge (excellent blog by the way) has written a guide on how to hygge this autumn. read here
• To finish off our Nordic trio of posts, Brooke from World of Wanderlust has a run down of the best Norwegian coastal cities and towns to visit. read here
