The garden shed project


Today we got most of the roof in place on our shed. Thanks to Jakob-the-handy-man! Because the summer never seems to get here and the rain keeps pouring down, we took the chance of this fairly clear Sunday to get the roof waterproof so that we can then keep building the rest without being nervous about the wood getting wet and destroyed. Jakob and his wonderful wife Lina and 6 month old son Matheus came around 9am for breakfast. Then the boys built the roof in a couple of hours before we enjoyed lunch together.

In the afternoon some other friends came around; Jane and Håkan with their two kids. The kids ran, played, and jumped for some time before we had dinner together. I used my herbs from the garden for the first time this season; tarragon, thyme, garlic and water as a bed for the roast which I left in the oven for a little more then an hour. The roast together with potatoes, sauce and lingon berries became a wonderful dinner. The kids ate like I've never seen before!
What herbs do you use for your cooking at home? Any nice suggestions are warmly welcome - I need some inspiration!
