The strawberries look delicious and ready to be eaten. They look so fresh too! =O Putting flowers under pillows sounds like a wonderful custom! Did you put them under your pillow last time?

The Midsummer sounds interesting too, and the festivity is nice and simple with loads of fun. =) You guys are really fortunate that you are given a holiday to come back to nature and appreciate its beauty. =) And also to be so high up in the latitude to even have midsummers! *sigh* Over here, we “celebrate summers” every day. How dull! =P

The photos look absolutely terrific. So, strawberry season, ha? They are my favourite fruit.
And this is so nice that such a modern nation like Swedish love their tradition. Some nation go forward and never look back, but if you don’t look back you finally forget where you came from, right?

Like you Swede envy our May 17 – we Norwegian envy your traditional Midsummer feast. It’s a pity though, the tradition with the Maypile is sort of vanishing. Did you know, that in France, they have the May tree (l’Arbre de Mai)?. It was et up agaings the church wall in May, to protect the crop against all kinds of “devils” and brought down after the harvest. Both time the villagers did have a “FÃ©te”.

Me, like you, did not eat herrings nor olives until grown. And s
aquevit – dangerous – very dangerous – LOL.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful celeb at midsummer.

You are making me very hungry! What an awesome display of food and the countryside! It makes me wanna go so badly. I wouldn’t mind trying the pickled herring.

We are planning on go camping around my birthday in the Blue Ridge Mountains In North Carolina. It is called Shining Rock Wilderness – Pisgah National Forest. We’re gonna camp under the stars for a few days – I can’t wait!

I’m so itchy from all the chilblains on my hands & feet caused by the cold weather at the moment. =P I saw strawberries at the supermarket last night, but they were too expensive at $5.98/punnet. I’d only pay that much if they were BLUEberries! Brrrr! So cold tonight, so i’m definitely jealous! *lol* ;D

I like this whole Swedish Tradition thing. Drinking, cooking, dancing, more drinking, eating, more drinking, more eating, more drinking and farm animals.
