Back from the Farm

I’m just back from two weeks in a beautiful big farmhouse about fifteen km south of Lund, in Skåne, southwestern Sweden. It was all very relaxing & enjoyable.

The farmhouse had six bedrooms, and a capacious kitchen with a table big enough to seat twelve. My wife & our dog & cats and I were a little lost in the place for a couple of days, but soon felt at home, and later, when we were joined by my mother, my sister and her two daughters, the house filled up nicely. I hadn’t met up with my folks for a year and a half, so it was a great pleasure to see them.

In the garden were apple and plum trees, hammocks, swings, tables-&-chairs, and a trampoline. In a field behind the house was a potato patch, from which we dug up spuds for some of our suppers. Next to the field was a pen for seven sheep. As many bullocks lived in another field on the other side of the homestead.

Tomorrow, I go back to work…;
