Midsommar

Today is Midsummer Eve - a very low key one for us but I hope that all those here in Sweden had a great, warm, fun, festive Midsommar!!

We went out to Riddersvik and saw traditional dancing around the Midsommar pole. There were lots of people in traditional dress, the weather was lovely and it was a great break from the packing and organising. And it gave Judy and the kids a good dose of Swedish culture!

We didn't quite get a traditional Midsommar meal but ate cured salmon, boiled potatoes and salad - so it was close.
