Midsummer

Yep, I know you're having awesome weather for the first midsummer ever in Sweden. I know you're skinny dipping and listening to that same old man with the accordion like you've done for twenty years.

We're celebrating too.

I spent all morning making real knäckebröd. And Sanna and Ylva, the fantastic Swedish ambassadors, have made brännvin and smuggled herring from IKEA in Australia. And we're making a maypole and singing songs.

In pounding midwinter rainstorm, but still.















Raising of maypole last year.
