Summer adventure starts

Summer adventure just started! Yesterday school finished with celebration. Like in my childhood the school children marched in to fiddle tune Äppelbo gånglåt (Marsch from Äppelbo) and there's nothing like it! The fine sound of kids playing fiddle with slim fine sound they get from the fiddles, mostly in tune, sometimes a little shade of colour when it's a little bit out of tune, child style. I love it!

The classes had their own home made flags in many many colours.

A young girl and boy presented the speachers and the performers. A row of children performed their own created songs, dances, and one girl played Euphoria on a nose flute. Amazing! So beautiful, so much confidence, they did very well all the children. I'm filled with Joy that my daughter is studying at a school where the children get the chance to grow through their own creativity and are allowed to explore their own choices of style.

At the very end of this ceremony the school principal gave a summer-speach, mostly about enjoying each moment and the small wonders in every day. Wishing everybody a wonderful summer time. I wish so too, knowing that summer holidays are for some children not at all the happiest time in the year. Don't hesitate to reach out your hand if one of our smallest brothers and sisters needs an extra hand one day.

Here's the flutist performing so well:

After the big ceremony my daughters class had a get together on our own in the classroom. A new tradition has just begun, strawberry cake party with all the kids and their families. We provided with this cake, all home made:

Today we set out for our summer adventure. Luxury, our friend Micke came by to drive us to the train station, how nice! First thing we saw on the train is the articles about Enviken rock n roll culture, the geographical "belt of rockabilly". And a small notice about Herräng Dance Camp!

Travelling with our dog goes excellent! He make new friends everywhere.





In Hälleforsnäs we had to shortly take the bus instead of train, something was supermuch wrong with the track and the train couldn't continue due to safety reasons. Ok, first time for us to step out at Hällefors. We are now reading the book "The hundred year old who stepped out of the window" and some parts of the book take placein Hälleforsnäs. Beautiful little village, sunny warm day, we are not suffering too much from the delayed train so far.

Summer has started!
