Hi there! Today I woke up with the sun tickling my nose. After breakfast I hoped on my bike and enjoyed 15 minutes ride to Alnarp campus  between sun, fields with newly sawn cerials, colourful trees in red-yellow-green-brown-ish, and some birds picking seeds from the fields and twittering in the beautiful morning light. I just… Continue reading A sunny autumn in Skåne
