The past few weeks I have been to the summerhouse several times, at intervals that meant my houseplants could stay alive. It has been very nice to be able to jump into the ocean and relax in the sun. There have been quite a few crossword puzzles solved also. The weather has changed recently and now it's about 18-20 degrees with a fair amount of rain.
This past Saturday it was time for another cemetery tour at Norra Strö church, hosted by me. Eleven people showed up for it, which was a manageable number. This event is one of very few that the historical society can arrange, since it's outside. We had a nice time talking about the gravestones and the people buried there. I also included some tips for keeping gravestones clean from moss and lichen. Afterwards I got invited to my father's place for lunch.
This Monday my mother finally got her birthday present - a road trip to Österlen. It's the southeast section of Skåne. We went to the S:t Olof church, which is renowned for its decorated altars and murals. The janitor offered to open the church for us and he turned on a sound recording so we could get a guided tour. Very nice place, and outside we found mushrooms on the grass. We continued on to an apple orchard, where we picked fruit and had coffee. The lunch was at a high quality restaurant in Simrishamn. The buffet was Italian-inspired with cold cuts and lots of veggies and cheese. We ended the visit by going to a large flower shop far out in the countryside, made famous through a TV program. There was also a shop with garden furniture and decorations. The prices were high but it was still fun to see it. My mother also got to chat with the owner, to her great enjoyment.
