Arrival on the island. Welcoming party on the jetty in full Christmas attire.
Arrival on the island. Welcoming party on the jetty in full Christmas attire.
We are off to the island on Saturday. The children will join us there. We will have an early Christmas celebration – the only chance to be together. It is cold but sunny. We hope to be spending the coming 2 weeks sailing.
We manage some preparations before darkness encompasses us. It is pitch dark at 4 pm. Luckily the lights are up and we brighten up the environment a bit.
We collect them in two rounds from the mainland. The open fire has made the cottage welcoming.
Hasses’s unsurpassably hot sauna is again appreciated. The girls immerse themselves in the cold lake to survive.
Our little Christmas celebration consists of the usual masses of food, drink and games.
After brunch the day after Hasse takes the children back to the mainland.
We stay another night and enjoy our Christmas presents.
An exceptional Easter 2014. Could have mistaken it for Midsummer if it were not for Easter eggs for lunch. Summer hat on, sunbathing, fishing and tending to the boat in blazing sunshine. More pics under Vällinge.
We look for our eggs. Find the wrong ones. No addressees. Never mind.V
Some of us polish the boat and some fish, sunbathe and read.
A magic evening after sauna.
Vacker i sin höstskrud.
Bryggan är klar för vintern; den flytande delen med stege är borttagen och flyter i lugnare vatten vid sidopontonen. Höstsäsongen invigs i solsken och bastun håller på att värmas upp.
Vällinge i Mälaren. En pärla.
Ett kärt återseende för Ewa som var holmvärd i några år och har oförglömliga minnen från möten med vänner från ÅSS och båtgäster från Sveriges och Europas olika hörn.
