Steak grilled by Sambo's mom. It was soooo good! Sambo's mom, who is a really good cook, cooks a variety of dishes every time I visit her, and I am so grateful to her.
What I think in Sweden and other European countries is that men are in charge of the grill. Sambo's dad grilled this steak outside. For some reason, it seems that men are in charge of the grill. It is one of European related culture, I think.
They baked a pizza with sheep's cheese. It was so delicious and addictive when eaten with honey.
It was pretty tasty to eat the pizza with this champagne! 😃👏👏
Vad gött!! 😉👍👍
ヘリエダーレン地方の方言は、「Vad gott! ではなく、すこし濁音が入った、Vad gött! だよ」とおじいちゃんに教えてもらいました。
So many flowers blooming in my yard, spring has finally arrived! Spring is here!
I love this flower called Hägg that blooms beautifully every year without withering, even in this area where it gets close to -30 degrees Celsius! It has a very nice fragrance.
When I left, I went to my grandmother's house to say hello. She gave me a recipe for a dish. わたしが大好きなニシンの酢漬けのレシピを教えてもらいました。
The train on the way home was empty.
席がかなりすいてて、よかったです。でもストックホルム付近の町から急に人が乗車が増えて、最後には満席になりました。
このユースダルと言う町は材木業が盛んな町です。森から切り出した材木がいつも山積みになっています。
Härjedalen, Sweden
When I visited Härjedalen, the bears had just woken up from hibernation and were roaming around the forest, hungry, and I was told to be careful as soon as I walked through the forest because I might meet a bear. The regional flag of the Härjedalen region features a bear, the region's symbolic animal. Bears are omnivorous, eating many different things in the forest and carrying plant seeds throughout the forest with their feces.
It seems that bears at this time of year begin to raise their young cabs, and mother bears with small bears, cabs are very temperamental and need to be watched out for. That is a mother's love to protect the little bears. What we can do is to let bears know of our presence before they encounter us in the forest, so it is a good idea to walk around the forest while talking with people loudly, listen to music when walking alone, and wear a bear-proof bell.
We had a steak prepared by Sambo's mom while talking about the bears that are often encountered in such a springtime region of the Härjedalen.
"There seems to be a bear nest near this house, and I see bears several times every year, so be careful, especially this time of year."
I wondered if coexisting with forest animals means living at a distance from each other without interfering with each other.
Bears also live in Tokushima Prefecture in Japan, which I love. It seems that only about 30 bears live in Shikoku. It is said that bears may become extinct by 2030, and I was reminded of how we need to think about coexistence with bears.
There was a time when bears were actively exterminated and hunted in Sweden, and their numbers were temporarily reduced considerably. Today, however, the bear population seems to be on a recovery trend due to the increasing protection of bears. I felt that there are many things we can learn from the Swedes about how we can coexist with forest animals.
ヘリエダーレン、スウェーデン
ちょうどわたしがヘリエダーレンに訪れたときは熊が冬眠から起きて、お腹を空かせて森を歩き回る時期だったようで、森を散策するなり熊に会うかもしれないから気を付けてねと言われました。 ヘリエダーレン地方の地方国旗は熊がデザインされていて、この地域の象徴的な動物です。 熊は雑食性で、森でたくさんいろんなものを食べて、フンと共に森中に植物の種を運ぶ動物のようです。
この時期の熊は子育てを始めるようで、小熊を連れた母熊はとても気性が荒くて気を付けないといけないようです。 それは小熊を守る母の愛ですね。 人間が出来ることは熊にわたしたちの存在を森で遭遇する前に知らせることで、人と話をしながら森を散策したり、一人で散策するときは音楽を聴いたり、クマよけの鈴をつけて歩くといいようです。
そんな春のヘリエダーレン地方によく遭遇する熊の話をしながらサンボのママが作ってくれたステーキを頂きました。
「この家の近くに熊の巣があるようで、毎年何回か熊を見るので、特にこの時期はきをつけてね。」
森の動物と共存するとはお互いに互いに干渉し合わない距離を保ちながら生活することなのかなと思いました。
わたしが大好きな日本の徳島県にも熊が生活しています。 四国に30頭前後しか住んでいないようです。 2030年には絶滅するかもしれないと言われていて、どの様に熊との共存を考える必要があると改めて感じさせられました。
スウェーデンでも熊は駆除と狩りが盛んにおこなわれた時期があったようで、一時的に数をかなり減らしたようです。 しかし、今日では熊の保護が進み、熊の生息数は回復傾向にあるようです。 どの様にすれば森の動物たちと共存することが出来るのか、スウェーデン人から教わることはたくさんあると感じました。
