Autumn at the Swedish COTTAGE | COZY Vibes in Sweden 🇸🇪
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- After weeks of lockdown in the UK, I was finally able to visit my Swedish cottage, as autumn crept across the country.
In this video I share the autumn or fall colours in Sweden, my family and I celebrate Kanelbullens Dag - Cinnamon Bun Day (or Cinnamon Roll day) - join me on a walk along the shores of beautiful Swedish lakes ... as well as visiting beautiful Dalarna county further north.
Every time I spend time at my cosy stuga, I'm learning to adapt to life's changes, to live a slower life and appreciate the smaller things - as well as the opportunity to be surrounded by nature.
Apologies for my Swedish accent - I am working on improving my Swedish! Also, I realise that I only show forest tracks (which I love driving on) in this video - which doesn't do justice to Sweden's roads, which are really good!

"No such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing." love it! 💕
Even better in Swedish because then the expression rhymes! :D
"Det finns inget dåligt väder, bara dåliga kläder" ^_^
Thanks - I hadn’t realised it rhymed in Swedish!
Yup we’ve been told that all our lives here. Made to go outside regardless of how bad the weather was when we where kids and if we complained we where always told that saying. ”There’s no bad weather, just bad clothing”, allthough it sounds a lot better in swedish. 😀
I didn’t like it then but I do now as an adult, and one day I will - hopefully - get to say that to my own kids.
And the saying IS true. You can have so much fun in rain and snow if your suitably dressed.
Oh and I like your videos, keep it up!
🇸🇪🙋🏼♂️👍
I was grown up with that sentence :-)) grown up 25 km outside stockholm yes I have had to ski to school few times.
It is an important rule for life in Scandinavia, well at least Sweden,Norway and Iceland, I think it also goes for the rest of it but do not have that confirmed.

What a coincidence. Today is also October 4! 🍁🌳🌾🐿
Your videos are so sweet and charming. I love your wonderful enthusiasm! 😀
It is like living in the paradise....
I love how you say "Smörgås"! It´s very endearing! :D
Love your videos. I miss them! Your videos are healing to my soul! Thank you for posting.
I can't help it but when I see a tree is being harvested...I feel an inner pain...I love trees...
I love trees too! In Sweden when they cut down trees, it’s often to keep people warm through the cold winters and they’re almost always replanted
How is your Swedish coming along Jen? That was a lovely film, thank you x
So glad you liked it Michele. My Swedish is coming along slowly but surely - learning vocabulary and starting to put sentences together. Bit of a slow process, but am improving little by little
@@JenniferCarterWriter 😄
@@JenniferCarterWriter Actually it is the law to make sure the forest will start growing again after harvesting. Not mandatory to plant new trees but most do as you said as that is the easiest way to follow the law.
A Swedish "torp" is the best. I live in one.
Wow! Love your videos! I actually live in borås here in Sweden a bit close to Alingsås. Love your cottage. I wish we could also buy a cottage near the lake line yours.
I've always loved my country, but when you talk about Sweden it really warms my heart! Thank you for sharing!!!
So for you the air becomes chilly but for us in the sub tropics of Australia it is warming up. The scenery in Sweden is spectacular and I wonder at its beauty, never having seen any of it in real life. I appreciate you sharing this rare glimpse of Sweden in all its glory. Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed it Sue - right now I could use being somewhere sub-tropical, and would love to see Australia one day
So impressive. Thanks for the video👍🎉💝
My great grandparents left Sweden for America. I never met my grandmother, born in Missouri. Your videos have given me a part of my history I missed! Thank you!
Thankyou for this lovely, uplifting film.Autumn is my favourite time of year and Dalarna county looked magical.I’m 50 and planning to retire to the folklore region by 60 from the UK.Enjoyed many a holiday around Mora(Anders Zorn museet is a must if you enjoy art and the arts/crafts period) and like you find the forests and lakes totally energising.
Wishing you and your family peace and happiness,love your videos,thankyou🇸🇪
I haven’t been that far north before Jamie but it really was magical
You are a lake hunter ☺️ They call Finland The Country of Thousand Lakes (De tusen sjøers land), but Sweden actually have more lakes than Finland. Maybe the Country of Two Thousand Lakes 😂 I am a Norwegian having a cottage by another lake, and in your videos you really catch what is unique in having an old, red, simple cottage (torp or stuga) in Sweden.
We are not that far away from each other, and if you would like to go mushroom hunting together later this year, I would love to meet you in a forest, by any lake.
Anyway, keep up producing beautiful videos. When the lockdown is over again.
Almost 100 000 of them, about 97 500 (only counting ones larger than 2 acres)
I love your channel. You are a wonderful person . You inspire me . God bless
looove this, love this.
Hejsan from Finland. Never heard of this cinnamon bun day but we sure love them any day : D
Jennifer, how beautiful is your countries landscape! Just breath taking!! Thank you for sharing:)
Nygrens café in Alingsås is, in my opinion, the nicest one in this little town. And there are a lot or cafés there. Nygrens café has also a very good reputation far outside Alingsås. I live west of Gothenburg, approx. 1,5 hours from Alingsås, and a trip to Nygrens is so worth it. The interior with the old mixed furniture combined with newly baked cookies, kanelbullar and cakes is so cozy and relaxed compared to a modern café in Gothenburg city.
100% agreee. It’s the best place for fika that I’ve found yet - and definitely worth the drive!
Хорошое место
It’s so easy to forget what is really important in life. Thankyou for reminding me ❤️💐
You have such a unique and beautiful style to your videos. Very educational, collated with beautiful scenery, but also your tone and narration style is absolutely gorgeous, so soothing and relaxing. This blending that you are creating with your videos, has nothing but joy written all over it. Keep up the beautiful art (written, spoken and visual) you are creating with your videos. I loved it, and enjoyed it immensely, thank you so much for sharing, David (from Scotland) X
Thanks David!
Recently found your video because I follow others who live in Sweden, the Autumn colours are really spectacular living in a sub tropical climate we don’t see this, I was born in the UK but have lived in Australia for many years. Be safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I know what you mean about not seeing this Barry, I lived in Nigeria for a year, and what I missed most was the changing colours of the season
So glad you are doing a q&a, lots of questions!
-what was your knowledge of Sweden before buying your cottage, it seems like you were familiar with the country before buying?
- can you take us through your process of finding and purchasing
- can you speak Swedish?
-is your cottage warm?
I found your video because we are very interested to buy a summer house in Sweden and I’ve no idea how you can tell from here (Ireland) if it’s a good property and worth visiting in person! Thanks 🙏
Great questions Laura - will try and answer all your questions when I make the video - am hoping to include clips of selfie’s taken on the day we got the keys too! Your question about how you tell whether a property is worth visiting in person, is it really pertinent one, so I will try and address that, for sure
Yes I’m curious about buying a cottage in Sweden also please ❤️
Will do Kim - keep an eye out for this in an upcoming video
@@JenniferCarterWriter Do you keep a car in Sweden? What areas did you consider? Thank you!
Had no idea Alingsas is the self-appointed capital of fika! :-) Visited the lovely town several times as my sister lived there many years... Love you video and the on-point narration. Keep it up!
So reminiscent of the many Oktober trips to Sverige to visit relatives and the farm..the lakes, streams, fall colors, always a wonderful time..thx for the vid 🙏🏻🕊🇸🇪
I’d never thought of Sweden as a place to visit in the fall, but it was beautiful!
This make me want to leave the states and move to Sweden.
The son of a long-time friend of mine did just that.
So beautiful! The furthest north I’ve been in Sweden is Uppsala. I’d love to explore more the next time I get to go. I’ve mostly been in Southern Sweden because that’s where my family is.
I’d love to go even further north on a future trip, to the mountains, which look amazing!
Thank you for this Jennifer, it is a beautifull wondrous contry in so many ways, and you show it so well in this gem of a video.
PS. It’s not often but now and then the algorithms get it right and recommend me videos like yours.
Glad you enjoyed it Jan-Olof!
Your voice is so peaceful! and yours footage is so beautiful! Its so nice to be in Sweden, rather than England atm! so Glad we found you neighbour, also how do you draw water in winter? ❤️😍
The water in the cottage comes from a well - but unlike Lapland where you guys live, the winters aren't quite so cold (no minus 30, I hope!). Stuck in the UK at the moment, but can't wait to get out to the cottage again as soon as I can
Lovely Jennifer! I live in Dalarna and have been to the lovely lake where you spent your second night - it’s a treasure. I’m so glad you enjoyed your autumn here - it really is so beautiful ❤️
It was an amazing drive to the lake - one which I only took because I searched for fika, and this place came up. Such a privilege to have the lake to myself! I hope to explore Dalarna more soon
I can’t stop watching your beautiful cottage
Majestic views. So peaceful n tranquil. Love it ♥️
I would move there in a minute!❤ we have suffered more then one child lost. My three sister each lost there first born sons at a young age each at different times. I hold onto my grandbabies and appreciate each and every day because as you and I know we may only be able to love, cherish and hold them for a brief time. The way you have chosen to continue your journey is showing strength and to follow such a beautiful dream hugging nature and family ❤
God bless you🙏❤🙏
So sorry to hear of your loss Cindy. I’m sure that I hold my grandchildren even tighter these days!
@@JenniferCarterWriter Without a doubt ❤
Hello Jennifer - I find your story and the way you talk about your perseverence ( imagining and accomplishing your beautiful swedish dream) truly inspirational...Im trying to find such a lakeland area also .....Im passionate about swimming in cold lakes in such goregous landscapes .I wish UK lockdown would end so I could get to know sweden ....Im also in the similar situation ....coming to terms with things...and hope to find a dream surrounded by nature and peace. Thank you for your tips on how you bought your house...and how you were not fazed by the difficulties' Yes its scary for me!
So lovely, Jennifer! Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us! A little mental vacation and feast for the eyes. Many blessings to you.
Thank you for sharing! Much respect from Canada.
Once again I enjoyed your beautiful video. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your life with us. Fall here in Ohio USA. My favorite time of year. Take Care and God Bless!!
Thanks Cindy, glad you enjoyed it!
This is the peaceful life I dream of. Wonderful! Best wishes from Philadelphia PA USA.
Perfect autumn scenery view and relaxing time with natural
Hello Jennifer! It´s been a joy looking at your videos and listening to your soothing voice. I just want to say Welcome to Sweden! You did a good choice, especially now in these´s changing times in the world. I myself have been blessed with living in Sweden since I was a child, but also many other countries. Sweden fortunately has always been my home base. I have one question, why did you choose Sweden? (maybe it´s in your videos, I have only seen a couple yet, but I´m getting there). Wish you a blessed life. Alexander
Thanks! My children’s grandmother is Swedish. We were fortunate to stay in the family’s lakeside summer cottage for a few summers when my kids were younger. I still remember how it felt to round the corner and see the lake for the first time, it took my breath away, still does, every time!
The colours are glorious. Family are so precious and what a wonderful experience for your grand children. Mine have to travel from Australia to California to visit me, but we have wonderful memories to remember in between visits.
Family are indeed precious Pamela!
Swedes are kind of spoiled with lakes everywhere I guess.. They are everywhere, I don't even think about how beautiful it is until I watch foreigners visit them.
Good job to your grandchild taking a bath in october by the way, must have been insanely cold.
Love your stories from Zweden👌
Love this quick visit with the sights, smells and delicious treats from a land faraway. Thank you from Ohio, USA
Beautiful photography! My ancestry is only about 5% Swedish, but I feel a very strong connection to the country and its people. I hope to visit someday. Thank you from Illinois.
It seems you have fully understood the love of nature most Swedes harbour.
Beautiful video!
Beautiful video thank you for showing us your beautiful country.
Hi Jen, you're painting the Swedish nature in a very positive light and rightly so! Enjoying a fika in Alingsås is something everyone in Sweden should experience. Lovely place.
I hope a day never comes when Swedish nature doesn't completely overwhelm me with its beauty Ash!
When you mentioned "Alingsås" i thought "Oh, that´s close to home!" and when you showed the lake I instantly recognized my favorite lake!! The area/place is called "Härskogen", and the lake is "Stora Härsjön", where my family have gone for generations! So happy to see you enjoy these places! It warms my heart to watch, since I no loger live there.
So so miss that lovely country and watching your beautiful film really Tugs at my heart... thank you so much for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it John!
Hej, truly enjoyable videos and you have a great narrator voice. For your next video: As planning to do the same, it would be great to know more about the prices and other property buying tips. Also in general, how is that area and the people compared to the other parts of Sweden. Thank you.

Such beautiful video. Thank you så mycke.
Greetings from your neighbour country. 😊
Beautiful video! Thank you. I really enjoyed seeing the colors and the lakes. And I absolutely love fog!
So amazing! Made a video just like this a few days ago. Very grateful. All the best from Sweden :)
Your cabin looks so cosy Stefan!
Hello there, I’ve been waiting for this , glad you posted another video. I’ve been trying to keep up with you and praying for you. I’ve also been enjoying your book , the first one you wrote . Keep writing, keep recording , keep sharing and may God return to you a 100 fold. God bless you and watch over you daily . Blessings to you and yours ,( loved ones)
Many thanks! 🙏
Thank you for sharing your beautiful family and country 😊
Loved it all the way. Have tried a few cafés in Alingsås. But not that one. Need to go there now. October is a good time to leave. Before the not so uplifting time of the year. Wellcome back in spring.
So so beautiful! 😍
In Brisbane, Queensland, Australia the saying ‘no such thing as bad weather, just unsuitable clothing’ couldn’t really apply here because it is soooooo HOT and HUMID for at least 6 months of the year that even if you walked around naked you’d still be sweating like a pig and get cooked alive from the scorching sun - as does all the vegetation... if it’s not burnt to a cinder then it’s brown and dead for months on end... you are unbelievably lucky to have a home in the northern hemisphere, especially in Scandinavia which is just breathtakingly beautiful with it’s short summers and 4 seasons - in Brisbane we only have HOT and Humid and not so hot... I especially stayed in Europe for 6 months to escape our neverending, relentless, hot, humid summers so I could experience a real Autumn and a real winter, I LOOOOOOVED it soooo much I cried buckets when I had to come back to Australia and was sooooo sad for at least 12 months afterwards because I would soooo love to live in Europe...
So happy to see your post ☺️😍 XXX sending love from the Cotswolds XXX I am absolutely serious about moving to Sweden xxx
I know several people buying houses in Sweden, a few who have moved there and others who would like to do so. It’s totally possible with minimal £’s 👍🏻
@@JenniferCarterWriter thank you for your response you are my inspiration XXX have a wonderful day ☺️
Hey Rebecca, you’re beautiful so I hope you move here😘😜 but I’m a bit surprised because the cotswolds has got to be one of the dreamiest, beautiful surroundings anywhere in the world isn’t it? Are you tired of it? Over crowded? Just wondering🙂
Gorgeous in every way! Thanks so much! ❤❤
you love your sweden... we too....... actually living here!!😀
That’s awesome Hans - how do you find it coping with the long winters?
Just lovely...so serene
Such a lovely video. Bless you
Beautiful scenery. We have had plenty of rain in the UK.
Believe me, it has been raining in Sweden too... The other day we were actually joking about the climat changes have turned Sweden to be the new England! 😂🌧️🌦️🌥️⛈️🌧️🌦️☔☔☔☔
So strange how much things have changed. The lake my childrens grandmother skied across as a young girl no longer freezes in winter ❄️
Looks so cozy!
I love these
Thank you for sharing
Absolutely Beautiful!!!!
Thanks you my friend 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💗😘❤️😘💕💗😘😘💕💗😘😘💕💗
Sweet!
Wonderful
Jennifer you are amazing ❣️
Beautiful !!! I love your videos tfs 🎃🍃🎃🍂🎃🍁🎃🌵🌞🎃🍃🎃🍂🎃🍁🎃🌵🌞🎃🍃🎃🍂🎃🍁🎃🌵🌞
Thank you so much!
Brilliant 👏👏👏👍
Six minutes of pure mindfulness! What a treat. Such a beautiful landscape. I can't help commenting on your confidence travelling on your on. Any tips? Sallyxx
Glad you enjoyed it Sally! Let me have a think about how to answer that question ...
Just magnificent xx
Wow Jen how lovely! Cathy told me about this yesterday ☺️
I can’t find the link to follow though, can you share it again? X
I would love to hear how about you narrowed down your searches when it comes to select an area in Sweden 👍
My main criteria was that it was less than 2 hours from an airport!
No matter the weather we just need to wrap up & embrace it🍁🍂🌹💌🤗
Definitely - it's snowing today and by wearing a few layers, I've been able to get out and enjoy it!
Dear Jennifer. Thanks for another lovely video. You are an excellent videographer and your voice is very soothing, I felt transported to Sweden and enjoyed the weather and the landscape with you. I am fascinated by your wood burning stove. How often do you use it for cooking or heating? How early in the morning do you light it?
So glad you enjoyed it Francisco. There is a wood burning stove in the sitting room, which is for keeping warm, but we haven’t been able to get the oven stove to stay lit yet, so no oven for the moment.
very cool!!!! wow Jenny
Now i hope for your own Psykic helth stay here in Sweden and awoid the lockdown Back home in UK it must be Verry frustrating to stay in That bad lockdown.
Hi from Turkey.
I have Swedish heritage, as well as Norwegian. My favorite part of your video is when you are walking through the water, stating that your grandmother grew up there. It was timeless...like a walk through a cemetary. Just breathtaking. (I'm measuring my life!) And by the way...how was that blueberry??
What a wonderful heritage to have. The blueberry was very special
Wild blueberries are much tastier and contain healthier nutrients.
If you like kanelbullens dag you should visit Göteborg and go find cafè husaren. Order a Hagabulle. Bring your family and share just one bun - you will likely all leave full!
Don’t know how long you plan to stay in Sweden but I highly recommend getting some merino wool underställ, from like kari traa or other brands (I know kari traa is in Sweden). You can normally get these from stadium etc, it will keep you warm and cozy :)
Great idea 💡, thanks, I’ll take a look at kari traa!
I first saw one of your Spoken Word videos which I really enjoy. Thennnn I saw the Sweden ones and just love them. The decision to buy the cabin was a great one. Till I saw this one, I didn't know you had a connection to Sweden, but even if you didn't it is such a great place to ground yourself. We just had our Thanksgiving here in Canada and I was wondering if you have a video on Giving Thanks.
So glad you enjoy the spoken word videos Mary. I’ve got something a little bit different coming in the next couple of weeks, so look out for that. At the moment, I don’t have a video on giving thanks, partly because we don’t have any holidays which are about giving thanks (other than Remembrance Day, which is giving thanks in a different way)
You can not deny ourCreator when so Overwhelmingly confronted with His handiwork
Hi! So inspirerad to see my bestigit country from your perspective. My I ask were your cottage and your favourite see are! 🍁
It’s so beautiful B L! My cottage is about a two hour drive east of Göteborg - this lake is special to me because it holds so many precious memories!
A little bit closer to heaven,that part of the world❤️
The lingonberries you saw could actually be Mjölon or Mjölbär in Swedish , I think they are called Bearberries in English.
I tried to look online, but I really couldn’t work it out, I also some saw some other type of berries which were more yellow and in groups, but I didn’t know what those were either! Hopefully by the end of next summer, I will know a lot more!
Ask any neighbor and they will help you to recognize lingon. It looked very much like lingon in your video.
Good idea Jens - I was up near Stockholm when I came across these - and no-one in sight to ask.
👋👋👋🖐👏👌👌👌🖐👋🤗
Very cool - if only there was a diary of the daily routine
R U spending the winter?
Love your videos! One small suggestion, just my opinion, but maybe consider getting rid of the music. I don't think it really adds much and the sound of the environment would be so nice to hear.
Thanks Jonathan - That sounds like a good idea when I’m filming on my own, but when is the family there, there’s almost always conversation in the background! But yes, I will certainly try and work towards that, it’s a really good suggestion
@@JenniferCarterWriter I enjoy the music!
Whatever you do, dont forget a trip to Norway, this can sweep you from your feet cause is its unbelivable, dead sure you will just be swept away, I know being a swede, what did I say just swept away...
🤩😍🥺
