The day
before the longest day of the year, is in Sweden since 1953, a set day between
the 20st and 26th of June (In earlier days Midsummer Day was always June 24th,
on John the Baptist Day).
Last
Friday, Valerie organized a gathering of her Partner, brother and sister-in-law
(J) friends,
and her mother, who is me!

| Preperation of "midsommar tallriken"! |
With
beautiful picnic foods, champagne, wines and beer we met up at, Haga Park.
Songs to our “snappses”, played a kubb game (played since the Middle Ages and
originates from Gotland, Sweden’s largest island ) and questionnaire games we
enjoyed each other’s company and the (almost) longest day of the year.
