The Swedish Summer house

Ahh.. the Swedish Summerhouse...

It's old (but sound); it's painted barn red (as are say 40% of the buildings in rural Sweden); it is surrounded by trees and farmland; and it is near a lake (2 actually).

I'm not 100% sure if that description fits all summer houses, but it certainly does Clas'.

The weekend at the summer house was great.

It is about 2 hours east of Gothenberg in Småland outside a little place called Bor.

On the Saturday we went to the glass blowing region of Sweden (they have a whole region) that was pretty cool, we watched some guys make a jug (I know , whoo hoo!! - but it is pretty skillful).

This is a glass dish made at a little bohemian style glass factory

On Dad, Clas & I went Fishing on one of the lakes. We caught 9 fish in about 2 hours which is pretty good going by anyones measure.

We also did a lot of eating, drinking and generallyrelaxing . Oh and we played a game called Kubb - a sort of cross between forceback, patanque and bowling - good fun (google it).

that'll do!
