Happy midsummer!

After a beautiful spring with really too hot a weather for Swedish spring (25 to 30 degrees Celsius) we have reached midsummer, the old viking tradition still going strong in Sweden. The day when summer is at its peak, when the night is never really there because the sun nearly does not go down under the horizon (in the north of Sweden it actually NEVER goes down, it just turns and go up again).

About the weather … it has now changed to a more ordinary rainy day, in fact it is raining and raining and raining – day and night. Hm, I wonder what the midsummer celebrations today will be like. Usually we sing and dance around the midsummer pole and enjoy the company of our friends and neighbours. Anyway, with this midsummer bouquet of flowers I wish you all a happy midsummer 🙂
