Finally! The sun is out in Sweden!

 
 

This summer is probably Sweden's top 10 worst weathered summers. But today, finally, the sun showed up and the wind stopped (and it didn't rain either)! On a small island with the munchkins.
 

Where is Kerstin?

The dog.

 

Blueberry picking on the side

Wild blueberries were everywhere in the forest when we went to pick chanterelle mushroom. You just needed to have some patience to pluck them one by one, otherwise I heard there is a scraping tool that will get all the blueberries on the branch in one scoop. A must have tool when in a Swedish forest.

 

Mushroom picking in the Swedish forest

 

For the first time in my mushroom picking history (I count 4 times), I was able to pick more than 1 mushroom! It was a true adrenaline rush (but more relaxed and magical) once you get into it. The target mushroom was the yellow chanterelle that are really yummy in white cream sauce. I was so into it,  I had to stay on for 3 hours. As I remember the plucking bit now, I already want to go back to this magical forest tomorrow.

 

 

This will all be sauted in a cream sauce pasta or risotto. Mmmmm... 

 

Our new boat!

Lysekil in western Sweden

 

The crispness of Scandinavian water is always unbeatable, even with the number of boats and people (for Sweden)!
