Midsummer

From the public celebration in Ödsmål

We have just arrived from a few days in Sweden. This year we decided to celebrate the Swedish Midtsommar (which is always the last Friday in June) with part of my Swedish family. The whole family was involved with making the traditional Maypole and picking flowers, and as it should be in the Swedish way we serve herring, newly picked potatoes, sour cream and of course snaps. Had a few wonderful days and already wants to go back....
