Sill & Nubbe

Midsummer... long lazy days when the sun barely seems to set before it is up again. Surely it is something to celebrate?



..which this year I managed to do in fine style.

First in Dalarö for traditional folk dance around the 'midsummer-pole' - a short walk to the beach and then back to the marina. We are heading for the archipelago :-)

Björkösund, and the island of Ornö is the destination, with an open invitation from Anders & Ilya to come and celebrate midsummer. The location you can only envy - a lovely old-fashioned new house perched on the cliffs with views out onto Mysingen. Add four boatloads of dancers, plus most of the neighbourhood and you have yourself the makings of a fine party.

Herring, snaps and boiled potatoes. Strawberries, and sticky chocolate cake. Blend some tradition food with a some spicy music, mix thoroughly with the guests and simmer until the small hours.

It was great!

Thanks Anders! 'You're a diamond geezer' - (as Ilya would say).
