Hi Jenny , about the stove ....,you said the fire doesnt last when u close the doors ,...of course not ,..the most lower door has to remain half open in order to help the smoke go out ..., then when the fire s gonne you have to close it to keep the heat! Try it and update it to me :) , kisses !

Hi Jennifer. Nice house you bought. A little unusual then with a small kitchen. The most common in old Swedish houses is that the kitchen is the largest room and so a small "chamber" as a bedroom. As you have probably seen, we do not normally have shutters, yes some have it as decoration. Hope you will enjoy yourself in Sweden and with us Swedes, we may be a little unavailable at first but then ...

[@JenniferCarterWriter]

Thanks Krister. The small kitchen maybe due to the fact it was possibly a soldatorp, but almost certainly the oldest house in the village. The neighbours have been really welcoming, so far!

Sauna in Swedish is "bastu". In case you haven't figured it out yet that sauna is your bathroom... If you don't have running water, the sauna is where you get cleaned up. You can heat up water inside the sauna and mix it with cold water to get the temperature you like and then you wash yourself in the sauna. That's how we did it in Sweden in the olden days.

Great movie, so glad you enjoy your cottage! Just wanted to say that those pine cones and bark in that basket are excellent fire starters. At least that's why we collect them and what we use them for. We use those for our woodstove and our fireplace in our cottage. And get the chimney sweeps in to fix that chimney - there's nothing like food cooked on a wood stove, I tell you! I don't know why but everything tastes sooo much better. I hope you'll be very happy in your new home. We actually moved permanently to ours as we loved staying there so much. :-)

This is the most inspiring thing I’ve seen in ages. You are healing your broken heart whilst at the same time bringing new joy and love to your whole family. It must be SO wonderful to have everyone there together celebrating the seasons in that garden, collecting water from the pump for use indoors and running out to the loo at night! When I was a child in Australia, we had a weekend farm with no electricity and only a rain water tank. Some of my favourite childhood memories are having to abandon the car at the front gate (because the black soil was too slippery to drive on after infrequent but heavy rain), walking the long path up to the house, lighting the old kerosene lamps, my mother cooking dinner on the old wood-fired stove… It was a bit of a trial using the outside loo in the dark because of spiders. but now as I reflect back over the years, these are such treasured memories! And you are doing that for your family and for all of us along with you for the ride. Thank you so much. xx

[@JenniferCarterWriter]

Sounds like you have some great childhood memories Sue-Anne. I’d definitely think twice about going out to the loo if there were any Australian-style spiders there, that’s for sure!

[@Mingus8]

Have you managed to get a fire in the wood stove yet? I have a similar one and it is a bit of knowledge to get fire in them, because they require a draft so that the fire picks up .. After a while it sucks air itself if you feed it with fuel (paper, lamp oil) but it takes a while.. especially when it's cold outside. (There is also a damper that must be open of course).

[@neilmunro6683]

Would be interesting for some if you would do a sit-down video of the process you went through to by a house and land. Is it complicated to get residency in Sweden and is the process expensive to apply for residency? I live In Scotland and would certainly be interested in the process. How expensive is food and what about work permits and being able to drive a car? Dose a UK car licence mean anything or would one have to resit a car test? Is the power supply 240v like the UK... Great video thank you. Are the houses well insulated for winter?? I know it is cold in winter...

[@SvengelskaBlondie]

Pretty sure I can answer at least some of these questions, at least will try. "How expensive is food ?" Sweden is one of the more expensive places for food in Europe, still it's not that expensive unless you decide to eat out allot (or buy expensive food). Average take-away meal is around 100 SEK in general and fancy restaurants are anything from a few hundred to a thousand SEK depending upon what you indulge in. You can still get away quite cheaply when it comes to food if you shop around, also look for food that's going out of date cause they slash the price up to 50% on such items. "Dose a UK car licence mean anything or would one have to resit a car test" You can have your license converted to one that works in Sweden, think it's to an European license. that should make it possible to drive with your license in Sweden. "Is it complicated to get residency in Sweden and is the process expensive to apply for residency?" No, not since you already live in Europea. Regarding work permits, don't think you need one since Scotland is part of European Economic Area (EEA),. If you where from a country outside of it, that would be a different story. "Is the power supply 240v like the UK" Swedish standard is 230V "Are the houses well insulated for winter?" Yes, even in southern Sweden where I live the winters can get a bit cold (can go down to -15C where I live). My grandmother used to live in Dalarna before She passed, I remember that it used to get down to -25C where she lived. Having a well insulated house is pretty much a requirement in Sweden, unless you want to freeze your testies off. One thing that be worth thinking about is having what we swedes call "Bergvärme", there's companies that will drill into the ground and use pipes to pipe heat from subterranean sources and use that to heat your home. It's a bit of an investment, still it can be well worth it to not have to rely on a fireplace for warmth. "process you went through to by a house and land" Depends a little on how you do it, if you do it yourself or make use of real estate agencies. There are quite a few good guides on how this works in general, they tend to be in Swedish so some translation app is required. Easiest would be to just get in touch with a real estate agent, then you can ask them questions about specific things you wonder about. One important thing to remember is that the house may be part of a general development plan, so certain things might require "bygglov" or construction rights before you add/modify something. There's still quite a bit of stuff you can do without needing to apply for that, allot depends on location and how far out into the countryside the place is located at.

[@JenniferCarterWriter]

Thanks Wario DS for such a helpful answer! The only thing I can add is that, after the 1st of January 2021, no one knows what will happen about residency and work permits, as I believe it has not yet been agreed

As a Swede, I´ll give you a proper answer :-) Try a website called www.hemnet.se Its a place where you can find houses for sale all over Sweden.

Jennifer Carter Tack så mycket! Agree about learning Swedish-it’s a process. Immersion should really help. I have been considering Sweden myself for a long time; great to find your channel.

[@SvengelskaBlondie]

@@JenniferCarterWriter You won't have that much trouble communication with younger Swedish people, thanks to the emphasis of teaching English in school. I don't exactly where you live in the country, one possibility is to look up language cafeteria's. I know that there's places like that let people that are learning Swedish meet others, sort of help them learn and get immersed in the language. Might be something to consider, should you live close to such places. Edit: Swedes can be a bit rusty when it comes to speaking English, still many are good at understanding and reading it. Just be aware of that. Most Swedes don't speak English much outside of talking to foreigners/tourists/exchange students. Edit2: Saw that you lived outside of Gothenburg, pretty sure you should be able to find such places there. If you google "språkcafe göteborg", you will get several results of the aforementioned cafeteria. The nice thing is that it's pretty much language practice for free, just make sure you go on the days when they have Swedish as the chosen language (some have multiple languages).
