For this years Midsummer, I tagged along Martin & Lina to visit Tom & Lotta who live on the lovely countryside close to Västerås. Everything was set for a traditional celebration, we decorated and raised the Midsummer Pole, laid the table in the garden with delicious pickled herring, fresh potato and schnapps. And right on cue, after our first skål, came the rain. We were generously showered, but fortunately our tent saved us from getting wet.
But it didn´t go on for long and the evening continued with customary dancing around the Pole, for some of us for the first time ever.
When the babies had gone to sleep, we grown-ups found some time to ponder the important issues in life. Like what foods we´d like to see come in a tube.
It was a lovely day thanks to our great hosts, the beautiful setting and all the friends.
