Finally winter arrived

Until January 9th we had to wait here in central Sweden before winter arrived. Pretty impressive if you know that exactly 1 year ago we were having more than 1 meter of snow and the lowest temperature was below -25. It is very unusual according to SMHI, the Swedish meteorological institute. So what it meant? We were having no snow, no ice, green plants, singing birds and this in combination with almost no daylight making it a bit unreal. But ok, let´s forgot this now and look into the future. We´re working hard here at Stilleben, but also with a few inhabitants in Åmot. We are looking at the future of tourism for this small foresttown. Åmot has many opportunities but things won´t happen if we are not joining forces and trying look what our potential customers want. At the same time we should make organic decissions or said differently makes steps that are in line with perma-culture principles. Do as nature does. So even if we need to structure, the structure itself shouldn´t be too firm, we need to stay flexible, able to adapt. And use the resources that are available and not start to buy-in and therefore make us depending on recources too far away. As said many times by others act local think global. In the next weeks and months we hope to launch some new products for the next summer season. Products with local Resources but for a global public! Wait and see...
