Dags för sista delen av min lilla sommar-följetong! Denna gÄng handlar det om hur vi reste upp i landet till mina rötter i UmeÄ, och sedan vidare till Milano.
Time for the last part of my little summer diary! This time it’s about how we traveled north to my roots in UmeĂ„, and then on to Milan.
Natten innan vi reste till UmeĂ„ kunde jag inte sova, det kĂ€ndes precis som jag var Ă„tta Ă„r natten innan julafton. Ville bara spola fram timmarna till gryningen, sĂ„ att vi kunde ta vĂ„ra vĂ€skor och bege oss till Arlanda. Det första vi gjorde nĂ€r vi landade i UmeĂ„ dagen dĂ€rpĂ„ var att Ă„ka ut till mitt favoritstĂ€lle pĂ„ jorden- Ărsten.
The night before we traveled to UmeĂ„, I couldn’t sleep. It felt like I was eight years and it was the night before Christmas Eve. Just wanted to fast forward the hours to dawn so we could take our bags and head to Arlanda. The first thing we did when we landed in UmeĂ„ the following day was to go to my favorite place on Earth- Ărsten.
HĂ€r spenderade vi hela första delen av vĂ„r UmeĂ„-vistelse. Vi grillade, promenerade pĂ„ stranden och spelade spel. Mamma, pappa, hundarna och Sean fick bekanta sig med varandra och det var fanimig en ny nivĂ„ av vĂ€rme i hjĂ€rtat nĂ€r jag sĂ„g Sean skjutsa Ville pĂ„ havet i sin kanot, eller vinna över mig och mamma i kubb tillsammans med pappa :”’)
This is where we spent our first days in UmeĂ„. We grilled, walked on the beach and played games. Mom, Dad, the Dogs and Sean got to know each other and my heart reached a new level of warmth when I saw Sean give Ville a ride on the ocean in his canoe, or win over me and Mom in “Kubb” with Dad :”’)
Vi sÄg pÄ gulliga (och mindre gulliga) gamla bilder pÄ mig och Fanny, och jag fick gulliga snaps frÄn Berlin som fick mig att börja lÀngta hem lite lite.
We looked at cute (and less cute) old pictures on me and Fanny, and I got cute snapchats from Berlin that made me start longing home a little tiny bit.
GÄr sönder inombords av kÀrlekskramp av dessa bilder. Mina favoritmÀnniskor i hela vÀrlden.
These are my favorite people in the whole wide world.
Efter nĂ„gra dagar pĂ„ landet Ă„kte vi in till “city”. Att visa upp UmeĂ„ fĂ„r nĂ„gon som aldrig varit dĂ€r visade sig ganska svĂ„rt. De enda sakerna som kĂ€ndes lite viktiga var att:
– GĂ„ pĂ„ bildmuseet (stans bĂ€sta museum)
– TrĂ€ffa Farfar, mormor och Sara (tre av stans bĂ€sta mĂ€nniskor)
– GĂ„ pĂ„ BĂ„ten (stans “bĂ€sta” klubb pĂ„ sommaren)
After a few days on the countryside we went to the “city”. It proved to be quite difficult to show the best things with UmeĂ„ to someone who never had been there. The only things that felt a little important was to:
– Go to “bildmuseet” (the best museum in UmeĂ„)
– Meet Grandpa, grandma and Sara (three of the best people in UmeĂ„)
– Go to BĂ„ten (the best “club” in UmeĂ„ in the summer)
Sagt och gjort, alla ovanstĂ„ende aktiviteter utrĂ€ttades. Dessutom umgicks vi massor med Fanny och David, gick pĂ„ spa (en födelsedagspresent frĂ„n mamma och pappa)….
Said and done, all of the above activities were accomplished. In addition, we hanged out a lot with Fanny and David, went to the spa (a birthday present from mom and dad) ….
…plockade kantareller och roadtrippade till kalkbrottet och Glassbonden. Sedan var vĂ„ra UmeĂ„-dagar rĂ€knade, och det var dags att resa till Milano för mitt jobb.
… picked canterelles and road-tripped to a lime quarry and a ice cream cafe in the forest. Then our UmeĂ„ days were over, and it was time to travel to Milan for work.
Efter att ha sovit pÄ andras soffor och sÀngar i flera veckor var det rÀtt skönt med ett eget hotellrum. Vi spenderade 90% av vÄr fritid till sÀngs eller pÄ jakt efter god italiensk mat, haha.
After sleeping on someone else’s sofas and beds for several weeks, it was nice to have a hotel room of our own. We spent 90% of our free time in bed or in search of good Italian food, haha.
Ă
ker du till Milano mĂ„ste du lova mig att 1. Ăta lunch pĂ„ Michelin-prisade restaurangen Al Pont De Ferr, och sedan Ă€ta choklad och postage-glassen (en av de 4 olika pistage-smakerna, de vill sĂ€ga) pĂ„ Gelaterian Latteneve som ligger runt hörnet. Den absolut bĂ€sta glassen jag nĂ„gonsin Ă€tit.
If you are going to Milan, you must promise me to: 1. Have lunch at the Michelin-starred Al Pont De Ferr restaurant, and then eat the chocolate and the postage ice cream at Gelateria Latteneve located around the corner. The best lunch and ice cream I’ve ever had.
*mÀtt i magen*
*full*
Ăta och sova var sĂ„klart inte det enda vi gjorde i Milano. Vi var ju dĂ€r för en plĂ„tning med klĂ€dmĂ€rket Thyren. Detta Ă€r jag pĂ„ fittingen dagen innan plĂ„tningen, jag och Sean fick lite fria hĂ€nder att kombinera plagg och accessoarer fritt, sĂ„ vi spenderade en arbetsdag med att leka stylister.
But of course eating and sleeping wasn’t the only thing we did in Milan. We were there for a shoot with the brand Thyren. This is me on the fitting the day before the shoot, Sean and I got free hands to combine clothes and accessories, so we spent a day working as amateur stylists.
Sedan plÄtade vi frÄn 6 pÄ morgonen till 6 pÄ kvÀllen. Jag har ju redan visat er ett gÀng BTS-bilder, men ska visa er fler nÀsta vecka.
Then we shot from 6 in the morning to 6 in the evening. I’ve already shown you a bunch of BTS images, but will show you more next week.
…och snipp snapp snut, sĂ„ var vĂ„r sommar-turnĂ© slut. Efter fyra veckor pĂ„ vift var det sĂ„ otroligt hĂ€rligt att sĂ€tta sig pĂ„ planet mot Berlin igen.
… and then our summer tour was over. After four weeks of traveling it was so nice to get on the plane to Berlin again.
