THE STAFF AT WALLBY

Magnus Nyman
Owns and runs Wallby Säteri together with his wife Sara.

His favourite thing is when people come to Småland and Wallby, experience and feel good.

What is the best thing about Wallby?
The best thing is the morning walks with my dog. Every morning is different. There can be snow, haze or rain. But then the sun breaks through. Then the whole body is filled with energy.

Sara Nyman
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine specialising in horses

What do you do at Wallby?
I run a veterinary clinic specialising in health care for horses. I have two horses of my own called Aragon and Megan.

What is the best thing about living here?
I enjoy being close to my animals. My horses live out all the year round. They are happy and then I am happy too. This is a fantastic place to keep and train horses. I also like the billowing landscape.

What is your dream for the horses at Wallby?
I want to build a health centre for horses where I teach people how to train and feed them. I am passionate about spreading knowledge on prevention. It’s sad to mend a lot of broken horses.

Susanne Oskarsson
Housekeeper

I’m mostly in the kitchen, but we don’t have any clear boundaries here. We welcome guests or take people out on hikes. Sometimes, we cook food outside over an open fire. That’s lovely. But Wallby is so much more than a job to me. It’s a lifestyle.

What do you like to eat most?
Potato dumplings are my favourite food. My mother taught me that. I mostly make them with raw potatoes and some boiled. They are so tasty. But it’s a craft to get them right. Melted butter, cream, lingonberries and bechamel sauce. But no vegetables. And you have to drink milk with them.

Elisabeth ”Bettan” Lundgren
Housekeeper

What do you do at Wallby?
Well, I wonder that too. Ha ha. I’m a food and cleaning lady. But I do a bit of everything.

What is the best thing about Wallby?
Besides the people I work with, they are such a lovely bunch, it’s the environment. You relax, even if you’re stressed and are going to work.

What do Wallby and Småland mean to you?
It’s the forest. The forest and smells. Calm and nature.

Where at Wallby are you happiest?
In the manor kitchen, when the fire crackles. That’s absolutely the nicest.

For how long have you been working at Wallby?
I started this summer, in the middle of our high season. It was really fun and I instantly became a part of the gang.

What is your relation to Wallby?
I grew up not far from here so I have been a guest here many times. Parties, weddings and dinners. I don’t remember them all, but it has always been lots of fun.

Fredrik Björklund
Carpenter at Wallby Snickeri & Vaktmästeri

What is your relationship to Wallby?
Wallby has always been my best customer. I was here for the first time over 15 years ago! I have always enjoyed being here and the work here is fun and varied. It's fun to do a little different stuff... no two days here are the same. Now I have been employed at Wallby's carpentry and janitorial work  since the summer of 2023.

What do you do when you are not at Wallby?
I like hunting a lot. I have two dogs, Pippi and Ebba, both Finnish dusters. I hunt a lot of hare. It's actually more of a dog sport than hunting, it's the cooperation with the dog and getting out into the forest that's the big thing.
