Beautiful May, welcome to our part of Sweden again! I would love to exclaim that but with the cold and wind that has stubbornly clung to these first days of May it will just be a frosty brrr! I am longing for summer and warmth and for the holiday at our country house in Värmlandsnäs. Therefore I have picked up some photos from the archives from last summer’s holiday.
