Summer-visit in Sweden
We had a great time in Sweden, me and Anthony. There was lots in the schedule for the four days we had but in the end we managed to do almost all.
Priority one was to meet my grandparents. They were all so happy to have us there, and they really liked Anthony. It wasn’t a big problem that they couldn’t speak.
But before doing anything else, we stopped by at Ellens place on the way from the Airport when getting Anthony. And we put him on a chair to have the hair cut. He was a bit surprised, but it was a funny start.
The result. Good, isn’t it!? I really recommend Ellen.
Since it’s been raining a lot the woods were full of blueberries. We spent some hours picking and with the speed of one kilo per hour and person we soon got a lot. Anthony made blueberry jam and we could bring some with us back home.
On the day with the best weather we went out on the sea with my parents in my grandparents boat.
In the beginning it was a bit cold but when the wind mojnade = stopped it was becoming warm and nice.
We had brought the fishing material to try a bit and to our joy there were lots of fish to catch.
There was a seal comming really close. I know the picture is not showing so much, but if you look carefully you can see it’s head.
We got around seven of them, plus some that managed to get of the hook just before they were in the boat.
Anthony showed us a talent I didn’t know about, to empty the fish of the bad things. He did it really well, it’s because he learned of his dad who was working in the fish part of a food store some years early in his career.
The fish was fried with dill = aneth (don’t know in english) the way we always do and it was sooo good. On the picture is mum and Anthony preparing the fish.
The next day we met my friends and went to the medieval days in Kungälv, a city between Göteborg and where my parents live. It’s an old castle with an interesting history and lots of people had come there, many dressed out in clothes from that time.
Here is Henrik and Karin, in their beautiful home made clothes.
And here is the gang, my friends from Chalmers.
After walking around a couple of hours looking at people and the things to buy, and buying some herbal tea, we went to see the tournament.
I was so happy to see horses. It was the first time I saw a tournament and it really impressed me, they had a super control of their horses, and you could se that the horses was having lots of fun them too.
Even though I love acrobatics I wouldn’t be in the place of the man with blue pants.
When we came back home we had kantareller = girolle with us and Anthony made a delicius pasta gratain with them.
