I have no real relationship to the Swedish National Day, June 6. No real traditions or "musts". I wouldn't mind having them - after all - I am a Swedish alien and I love to observe all Swedish holidays.
Today was the first day back on the island after a pretty hectic week in Stockholm, and I just didn't have the energy to get off the island again. So, we raised the flag and enjoyed a nice (but still pretty cold) day in the archipelago. At night we lit a fire and watched the live shows from downtown Stockholm.
Next year I'll plan a bit better and make sure there is energy left to go downtown to celebrate in some way - find a new tradition and a little "must".
Happy Swedish National Day!

I'm sure if they ever decide there is an official song for Nationaldagen, it will be composed by Tomas Ledin.
Nu har jag kollat in alla dina inlägg du skrivit sen du kom hem...
Och så har du varit på Gotland, den underbaraste av öar. Saknaden till Gotland finns alltid hos mig. Älskar den ön!!
Och vackert väder fick ni när ni kom, jag har förstått att det annars varit mer än lovligt kyligt denna vecka. men vi ska hoppas att den riktiga värmen kommer tillbaka snarast.
Jättemysiga bilder visar du!
