Midsummer is a big holiday in Sweden and we spent it in Västergötland in my grandmother's family home that my parents have taken over. Some of my aunts, uncles and cousins are also here and we participated in the local dressing and raising of the maypole (midsommarstång).
For dinner we had a traditional menu of herring, salmon and aquavit of course!
We picked flowers for wreaths for the girls and before bed time we went outside and picked seven different flowers to put under our pillows. If you do you are supposed to dream about the person you are going to marry!
We went to bed late but it was still very light outside.
