A photo a day. My story. And my family's. Life in Stockholm, Sweden. Holidays in Australia, Canada and where ever else we can manage.
About Me
- Nic's NEWs
- Stockholm, Sweden
- An Aussie living in Stockholm with a Canadian and two beautiful little tri-citizens. Why are we in Sweden I hear you ask..... because this is where we want to be, for now. But life is not static and tomorrow is not predictable, who knows where we will be the day after tomorrow. Probably still here.
About this blog
Nic's News is about me, my family and friends, my daily life, holidays, outings, adventures, my trials and tribulations.
I started writing for my mum, to bring her closer to her grandchildren, to make her a part of their life or them a part of hers, and I think of her every time I write a new post. It is for my sisters too, and the rest of my family, for Ty's family in Canada, as well as for all the wonderful friends I have, both in Australia and in many other parts of the world. It is for anyone wanting to know more about our life.
In time I have also come to write for the audience that has somehow stumbled across my blog and who come back regularly to read what I am writing. It is a curious thing, to be a global citizen, with roots in three continents, experiences and impressions from near and afar. We are a melting pot, a family with three citizenships, and many, many influences.
I have played with my blog over the last couple of years, experimented, tweaked and toyed with it, used it to develop my writing, my research skills and work out my own style. It has been a fantastic too and IF you are curious enough you will see all that in my writing and in the topics I choose.
If you stumbled across my blog because of an interest in Sweden then you might want to check out Live In Sweden.se where I blog on less personal matters, and more about life in Sweden. This site has been a long time in the making but gradually it is getting to a point where I feel really proud of it, and I'm excited about where it is going!!
Whatever and where ever you read, I hope you enjoy and love to hear your thoughts, comments, ideas and opinions. Or just drop in and say "hi!".

I can't imagine a kid's party without fairy bread. I had an Aussie party themed party last year and loved making all of the old classics - crackles, honey joys, jellied oranges, shark-infested jelly, lamingtons, fairy bread, party pies and pasties... it brought back so many lovely memories.
ReplyDeleteHope your party was a blast :-)
The kids didn't know what fairy bread was until recently - nor chocolate crackles or honey joys - but they do now. The latter two were so easy to make and so popular with my two that I will definitely make them again. Never made lamingtons - will have to have a crack at it soon - once I've done this year's hot cross buns! But what is shark infested jelly???
ReplyDeleteI made up blue jelly (Aeroplane brand blue heaven or berry blue) and then melt white chocolate and spread it out thinly on baking paper to harden. I'd cut it into small triangular pieces, then make slits in the jelly surface and set in the chocolate, so it looked like a fin poking out of the water. Sort of an updated frogs in the pond. These jelly creatures were also popular: http://www.aeroplanejelly.com.au/adults/recipes/jelly-creatures
