The childhood summers in Sandhamn (Trouville) in the Stockholm archipelago. Father built the first jetties (where there are today two huge ones for bigger yachts. See right). Our first Harpsund boat, Grandma, my sister and father crouched , mom with feet in the water and the big fish tank floating in front. Here we kept all fish we caught - fresh and nice, long before the fridge was installed in the cottage! Mind you, father had an earth cellar under the floor to keep his beer cold. And aquavit! Very, very important!
Outdoor summer lunch by the cottage.
Lemonade and bun party with friends and cousins. Me to the left and sis´ flanked by our cousins Nina and Bitte, today living in Canada.
I was so happy when I found this old photo album which have been lost for many years after many moves over places and continents. From the third photo from top, one can suspect that you haven´t to be very old to be in love.. His name is Calle and later I actually married his second cousin, Dag! A close cut!
