Interesting and informative post about your Midsummer celebration. You know we where in Sweden this weekend so I had to make a post about this summer solstice phenomena too – with my personal twist of course.

Even if the reason is the same, the thousands of year back pagan tradition of celebrating the longest day (19 hours of daylight in Stockholm as well as Oslo), it strikes me how different we celebrate it in Norway compared to Sweden. We do this bone fire thing at St. Hans day (23rd of June), while you have Midsummer Eve and this may pole. I like your tradition even more also because of your dancing and folk costumes that day (a bit similar to our 17th of May in that way). I have to dig into this differences of celebration one day

I am also excited to attend a Midsummer Nights festival. I hope they will have that in Fredrikstad since I am spending a week there with Odd starting next week.

Have a great celebration. I know someone who’ on vacation in Sweden right now. Apparently you’ve had quite some temperature drop few weeks ago.

It’s our Winter Solstice this weekend, the shortest day of the year. Over the next few weeks the days will imperceptibly lengthen for the next six months, bringing us to the Summer Solstice in December.

Now you see why we feel as if we’re upside down in the world.

I really hope the climate was better in Stockholm than last night here in our Summerhouse – 10 C. brrrr. Nothing for persons with back pains;-))

In Oslo yesterday evening was a free pop concert with more than 100.000 spectactors in front of the City Hall. Among the artists was A-ha and the winner of this years Euro Song Contest Alexander Rybak.
We watched it on TV.

We are celebrating midtsommernatt in Sweden this year. The weather did not cooperate very much but it is still paradise for us!!
