A tribute to HUNÖ!

Cuckoo!

 

Summer is passing at the speed of lightning!

We are filling the days with sunshine, friends and strawberries:)

 

A couple of days ago we went to another piece of paradise where I have been spending some days every summer since I was in my early twenties. And that my friends is looooooong time!

 

 

If you can see beyond that blurry picture you can hopefully catch a glimpse of the summer on an island in the archipelago outside Västervik at the Baltic Sea. 

 

 

The people who live there are the parents in the family I was an aupair in when they lived in the UK 25 years ago. 

I stayed in their house for a year but they have since then stayed in my heart!!!

 

They are the most beautiful people I can ever think of from inside and out and they have a heart bigger than the  continents. 

Which means I always feel close wherever they are. 

I feel so lucky they chose me to come help them out with life that day 100 years ago:)

 

 

At this place days are passing by in a dream!

Swimming fishing and laughing are the main activities for the kids...

 

 

And jumping to reach the sky...

 

 

And boating!

Who needs the sun when you see a smile like this?!

 

 

Its so beautiful...

 

 

And very peaceful!

 

 

The beauty to the right is the daughter in the family and the one I took care of ( together with her brother) back then. Love her to bits!

 

 

We do not do much but chatting, hugging, giving advice about life and eating. 

Surrounded by the sound of the waves reaching the cliffs...

 

 

The contrast we all need from our daily life and routines we have the rest of the year. 

 

 

Every moments are playtime moments:)

 

 

A perfect place to build up strength and courage to take that first step on the springboard into the scary depth for a 5 year old girl. ( she did not do it in the end though but I know she thought she could)

 

And a perfect environment for a 46 year old woman to nurture her heart, mind and tummy!!

 

Life is beautiful!!!

Hej kära Maria, ett så underbart inlägg om er Hunövistelse. Vi blev så glada att ni kom och hade det mysigt tillsammans med oss. Glad också för alla bilder du så generöst delade med dig av. Hoppas ni hade det trevligt på ert 70-årskalas och att ni har det gott nu också. Tänker på er och funderar på vår korta sommar, när åker du hem igen? Var det kanske 16/8? Kram från din vän Inger
