Autumn is here with all that it entails and before you know it winter will be here too.
Winter for many means cold, snow, Christmas mess and darkness. It is also during the winter that most people slip and fall and get a fracture.
Slip accidents cost Sweden eleven billion
According to The senior women over 65 are responsible for every third slip-related fracture in Sweden. And every year, 3,000 women suffer a fracture after slipping.
Slip accidents cost Sweden approximately eleven billion kroner each year.
In Gothenburg, they want to prevent slip accidents and have therefore decided to hand out free spikes, but only to certain people.
News24 have previously written about the municipality and what is required to get a pair of spikes this winter.

Saffron strongly associated with Christmas
Another thing that many people associate with winter is Christmas and all Christmas baking. A classic Christmas spice is saffron.
Already in the Middle Ages, the exclusive spice began to be used in festive dishes at Christmas time, and today saffron is considered the world’s most expensive spice.
Nyheter24 has previously written about Anna’s Pepparkakor, which this year is sold in a limited edition with the taste of saffron.

Customers rave about Ica
Another classic Christmas pastry with saffron is the fluffy cat.
Already in October, several ICA stores around the country have started selling fluffy cats, something that causes customers to react strongly.
“Like that! Fluffy cats exist! The bakery has now baked some varieties from the saffron range to start enjoying, saffron sourdough rolls, fluffy cats and luxurious fluffy cats,” wrote an Ica store on its Facebook page and customers were not slow to comment.
“Hey Ica Maxi, I think it’s too early for Lusskter, it’s October now, not December,” wrote a customer in the comment field.
“Unfortunately, I think it’s very unhygienic, when it’s so open!!” wrote another.
“I think it’s too early, it’s great to have something good to look forward to”.

“But hey! Lussekats in October”.
“Uhm… We’re in October… autumn, Halloween and All Saints are ahead… come back in 2 months like that”.
“Way too soon.”.
“But please, can we enjoy autumn and Halloween first! Such damn bad style”.
