Sometimes things don't really turn out the way one plan... This vacation certainly nothing went according to the books, so far... The summerhouse turned out to be a wonderful little house in the middle of the woods with two cows as the closest neighbors. So far, so good. Unfortunately the water pump broke down the first night, and we had to pump water from the well. I can absolutely see the charm of living the kind of life my grandmother used to live during her childhood; going outside to fill up a bucket from the well, heat up the water on the stove to do the dishes, mix freezing cold and steaming hot water for giving the kids their baths out of a pitcher – at least for a few days...
But this wasn't everything. The second day, when we took a trip to an art gallery nearby, the owner of the house came to fix the pump, and discovered that during the two hours between when we left the house and until he arrived, somebody had broken into the house...
Unlucky. Yes.Our vacation ended sort of abruptly already on
Tuesday night, only two days after we arrived. My new camera was the
biggest loss on our part, but still not that bad considering. We're just happy that everybody is ok, although I miss having the camera as I was planning on doing a lot of photography this summer. Well.
After a
day or so at home, trying to relocate, we ended up doing some nice
things anyway. Here are a few examples from the rest of our
"summerhouse week" – more pictures to view here.
Thanks for all Happy Holiday-wishes :)
The same to you!

Middle and bottom: We took a day trip to the island of Ven, mostly known for being the place where the astronomer Tycho Brahe built his observatory.

We got to pick a few blueberries and enjoy our pancakes with raspberries directly from the woods...
...and play a rocket ship taking off in lush nature, before our summerhouse adventure ended.

Back in Malmö, we went to a concert with Anna Järvinen.
Some people danced and played all night long.
