October is coming to an end. It's been a really a busy month with a lot of things happening. But I really did my best to take
advantage of beautiful autumn before the snow came. We have picked tons of berries, so we have enough
for the hole winter. Lingonberries is always
the last berries pick before it gets cold. And just like blueberries, they
are very good for the health. I really believe that berries
are so important for us, especially if you live
in a country where is very cold and dark
for a long time. Lingonberries! So, if you wonder why we
are at this ugly place, where there is not forest. It's because actually
lingonberries grow very good at places like this.
So that's why. You are very focus
on the berries on the grown! I see that, OK. Go ahead, pick them. It's really nice
with this berries pickers. I don't know... If all of you know
how this works. But they are really good for picking blueberries
and lingonberries, etc. So you just wipe them
through the bushes like this. And then. Really good. -Oh! Happy, happy dog!
-Happy, happy. In our last video
from the mountains, people were so happy because
they saw you have became more comfortable
in front of the camera. -Do you agree?
-No. It was a long time now again so I guess you have
to warm it up a little bit. Exactly. So October was a really
raining month. It was raining almost every day
for two weeks. Which was great because we have mostly
been doing work from inside. Since we started up
our new web shop a month ago, we have had a lot to do. It's been both exhausting and
super fun at the same time. But every week that goes by
we have made things a little bit better and easier. A few week ago, we got
a new member in our team. Which it was the best decision
we could ever take. Johan's best friend, Patrik. Has now started working with us. They have been best friends
since childhood. And they have also work
in the same company for over ten years
as electricians. So, for now on he is one of us. And we are so happy about that. He will be working with
the jewellery together with Johan. And packing orders and helping
with the other thousand things that comes with having
a jewellery business. How it is going? I do my best. And he also has
a cute little dog called Pytte. Who is also working with us
during the days. And the big bonus is that
Patrik is a great musician. And often play songs for us
during the lunch breaks. We could never continue
to do this work all alone. So this felt like a huge step
in the right direction. And in a blink of an eye,
the winter had arrived. But I'm so glad that I went
to our cabin in the mountains for a week, right before
the snow came. I really wanted to go there
before the winter would come and cover the ground with layers
of deep snow and ice for a half a year. Now I'm on the way
to the mountains. To the cabin. Feels so nice to go back
in there again. It only takes about three hours
to drive to the cabin. The surroundings on the way there
are so beautiful. There is something
about being here in the cabin that makes me go into
my own bubble. I fell that I'm disconnected
from the whole word. All the noise has cut away and I can hear the voice
of my heart much louder. I get so many ideas
and I fell inspired all the time. Been all by yourself
is a good way to really hear what is going on
inside of you. You can't scape it
and it's not always easy. But is very needed That's why I love to go here
now and then. It feels like I reboot myself. The next morning was so beautiful. I was up in the sunrise
and the lake was like a mirror. The mist was dancing
like spirits. It felt like waking up
in heaven. So hello my loves. Good morning and cheers on you! I really feel like I need
some hot coffee now because it's a bit chilly. But yeah, this morning
was beyond beautiful. I'm so thankful that I got up
early enough to... to capture this. Cause I was really tired
this morning. Right now I'm actually back
in the mountains again in our cabin. I came here yesterday evening. Is so nice to be back here again. I know I had been here
a lot this summer. But I didn't feel
quiet done yet. I steel have a few things that I wanted to do
before the winter arrived. Which can be any day now
actually. Especially here closer
to the mountains because... Yeah! The Snow can come any day. When I was here
in August or September, I was only focus
on the jewellery photography. As you can see
in my previews video. I really wanted
to come back here again. You know, have time
for other things. For just been out in the nature and capture the beauty
of this place in another way. Also I came here to... I don't know.
Take a breath, I guess. Because there is
a special feeling that I get when I am here. Being in the cabin
coming away from... everyday life
and every day routine. Everything, even technology. The mobile. How do yo say?
The phone connection. It's something about getting away of everything
and just... going in inwards, in a way. I think I really needed it
because this summer was pretty hard actually. I felt really anxious
now and then. Because of a lot of stuff. It's been new challenges
and new beginnings. It been a lot of hard work. I just wanted to go here
to settle down. Renew, I guess. I know that is a quote
that says: "The mountains are calling
and I must go." I love that quote because
that's usually how I feel. I can't explain exactly
why I need to go. I just need to go.
It just in my feelings. And it's always so worth it. Because afterward I understand
why I needed to go. So now I'm here, my friends. And I hope you can feel like
you are here with me as well. Because I have no plans
for this blog. I just hope that you would feel like you are
hanging around with me here, in this beautiful place. I'm just so thankful
for being here. I mean, do yo see this? It's a special silence
in the air right now. I'm not sure
that you can feel it here because it doesn't really
has to do with sound. I realized that now. Because in Autumn
in October and November, we always said like: "Everything is getting
so quiet." But it's not only the sound
that gets quiet, it's the energy. You can really feel how nature
is falling sleep right now. I really love to experience
these shifting seasons and the transitions
in the energy during the year because it's so different. I know a lot of you don't have
four seasons as we have here. I really hope you get
to experience one day how is to be in a place where
it constantly changes. I would love experience how
it's to be in a place were is no changing like this. Something I always wondered about is in places that are
warm all the year around, where it's like summer almost
all the year, How do the leaves on
the trees changes. How do they fall off or do they change colors
like they do here, or are they constantly there.
I don't know. This might sound like a really
weird question. Honestly, I don't know.
I haven't check that out yet. There is almost no leaves
left here now. There are just a few of them. There are very few colors
out in the nature right now. It doesn't matter,
it's beautiful anyway. It's so beautiful to see
the first layers of the snow on the mountains tops. I love that sight,
it's so beautiful. OK, actually I'm going back
to the cabin now and eat some breakfast. Actually I don't have breakfast. I have to go
and buy some food first because I didn't bring anything
when I got here. I gotta drive to Saxnäs first which is the closest town. It's such
a beautiful little town. They have this little store
where you can buy groceries. So lets go. This is Saxnäs. A beautiful little town
among the mountains in Vilhelmina county. Just driving through this town
makes me wanna stop every single meter
and take photos because the views in any
direction are so breathtaking. Saxnäs, Marsliden and many
other areas around this place have a very rich and interesting
history culture, which I love to read about. I'm specially fascinated by the history
around Sami culture and the indigenous people. Which is very deep devoted here, from hundreds of years
back in time and still today. Even if our cabin
is not located in Saxnäs, it is the closest town. I often go here and buy groceries
from the little grocery store. I also go here to fill up
some water since we don't have
running water in the cabin. Now we have some noodles. A sandwich and
some blueberries soup. Cheers! This is my typical cabin food. Because when I'm here,
I don't really have the patience to spend time cooking. So usually I eat
a lot stuff like this. Like noodles, sandwiches
soups and stuff that goes really quick to make. But it's really delicious
I have to admit. At least for a couple of days. After a few days
with food like this, I'm like but right now I love it. After I'd eaten, I thought we would
drive to Stekenjokk because that road is closing
in any day now. I really wanna go up there
before it closes. I also wanna go and visit
a waterfall that's on the other side
of that road, or is actually like one hour
away from Stekenjokk. But... Stekenjokk is this long road that goes right through
the wild mountain area. Since this road is very high up
in the mountains, It comes massive amount of snow
here during the winter. So the road is closed between
October and June. I really love being here. I wanted to spend some time
just enjoying one last stay in Stekenjokk before
the road was closed. I spent some hours here and filled my
lungs with the cold and fresh mountain air. I felt really happy
with my last stay in Stekenjokk. I've seen a lot of comments
from you, guys, saying that I pronounce
the world mountains very funny. I've seen these comments
many times, in many videos. There was a long time
when I just couldn't understand how in the world you could
pronounce mountains differently then how I did. I guess is the thing
with having an accent. You are not aware that you
pronounce things really weird but I have done
some research now and I have learn that: You don't said mountains
at it is spell. You said mountains. Like a silence N mountains. I'm from the mountains. I been living in the mountains
my whole life. Let's take our horses and ride up
to the mountains top tonight. I ain't got not more time
for talking right now. I gotta focus driving. Good morning, my loves. Did you have a nice sleep? I did.. not really, actually. No, I didn't sleep
super well tonight. I was awake a lot. I'm very energized now
and awake because it's another
beautiful morning. The sky is clear, almost. I'm really happy about that. We have to go and fill up
some more water later. The rest of the days
in the cabin looked quiet similar
to my first day. I was out from sunrise
to sunset Just doing my thing
and going bananas over the beautiful views. I had to go into the car
because is so windy outside. I just wanna to said that the lights on the mountains tops It was so magical. It was all pink. Pink lights. The beautiful pink soft light. When the sun is just rising,
its first little sunrise. It touches the mountains
and it just creates magic. I can't explain
the explosion of energy that happens inside of me when I see beautiful things
in nature like that. I stayed a long time
by this beautiful waterfall. And I could spend an eternity looking at the stones that had
this silver shimmering look. I took this stone with me. And left one of my rose quartz. Brain freeze! Brain freeze. I'm a person that loves water and I feel cravings
for showers and swims. I can't go too many days without
cleaning my self in the water. The only way to do that
it's by taking a really cold deep in the lake. But it feels
so refreshing afterward. After a few beautiful days, it started
to get more windy and cloudy. Then, suddenly the snow
was on this way. Since I didn't have winter
tires on the car, it was time to go home
before snow came. I'm so thankful
for these beautiful days in the mountains. My heart was filled with joy and I felt recharged and ready
for the winter as I got home. Thank you so much
for watching this video. I see you back home.
