Midsummer Our regular Guest - Waiting for more food

Midsummer - St Hans - Eve have a special tradition here in Norway. People have large outdoor fires (have been restricted the last years) and they seek out to the Sea with their boats. Islands are more or less crowded. Not this year. Heavy rain stopped the tradition. Oslo had 77 mm in 24 hours. That's more than normal for the whole month. Much more.




But we had to prepare the meal. Outside barbecue was to be forgotten. Too wet.


We started eating inside. You see - it's not much space.


But, suddenly. Blue sky.
And we moved outside


And, we could follow the tradition with a Midsummer fire. Not the largest one. But a fire. It was so wet it took almost an hour to lit it up. Meanwhile we had Wine and Wild Strawberries. The evening ended up with 40 Questions plus Ten easy ones. Bedtime: 3:30 AM.
