Trailer tales...



Autumn in Håga gård


Once upon a time in a land 4km from Uppsala city center there lived a beautiful princess. Her tall height and her proper manners were known all over the imaginary land. There was just one itsy bitsy detail that seemed to get in the way... and that she was lazy. However, the times she wasn't lazy, she just wasn't bothered to bat an eyelash about it!

So the days went by and she watched her ever so vigilant and highly skillful neighbor build an enormous palace, with beautiful verandas, delicate windowsills, walls with wooden panels and a whole future of possibilities of the most beautiful palace in the village. She kept wishing she knew her way around a saw and hammer to enchant her palace as well...

Testing if the planks hold... they did

She toiled about, dared to venture into the world of paint brushes and toners and ended up with a mango bedroom, pink living room and a minty green kitchen. But that wasn't enough. She pondered over the possibility of a bed-in-air so she could pretend to levitate but the enormity of the project confounded her. She she sat about, musing and pondering over the delicate matters of finding the material, making plans...

and suddenly a handsome old farmer prince came to the rescue the princess and build her palace bigger and stronger and warmer...


Olle Stevenholt, our landlord

or at least that's what she thought. Within few minutes, he showed his true colors and contampelated to bring down the palace walls...

And when that didn't work, he brought out the demonic chain saw from tool shed and continued his work... into wee hours of the afternoon.

After the ordeal, the princess was amazed at the beautiful potential of a lovely home in the palace. But as it looked bigger, was painted in colors, and was easier to breath in, plus it came with a free broom, the handsome old prince proposed the higher rent of the palace... in jest of course (hopefully).

So when the evening came and the princess left to spend some time cooking Italian food with her lovely neighbor for 14 people, in another land not so far away, she smelled rumors of finally having a bed that floats in the air. But their was a siege in her palace! The handsome prince's beautiful wife had came down the palace and decided to occupy the princess's bed... for at least a while.

So last night, the lucky princess, slept in her palace for the first time and felt at home thanks to the handsome old prince who is helping her make a grand palace.
