Yes if there is a room available M and I intend to have a cosy weekend (In December). With Christmas buffet and castle breakfast. We’ll see what they say.
Click on the picture and you will find their website.
I hope we get room two IF it has a bath…

It now remains to see if they manage to keep the level as well. We were of course very disappointed at Le Rouge (Be ware, bad google translation).

Whilst not being particularly spoilt by sunlight in the winter, us Swedes tend to spend all our summer energy soaking up the summer sun. Midsummer Eve marks the highlight of this summer period and it´s time to celebrate the longest day of the year. During this summer solstice, when the Earth’s axis tilts the most toward the sun. The intensity of the celebration may seem odd to people that aren´t starved of sunlight.
To a foreigner it might seem like the Swedes have gone mad! Usually reserved and never the highlight of the party, on midsummer us Swedes will let down our guard, some with a little help of some schnapps. I´m sure we look a bit deranged when we let lose all of a sudden.
We wear wreaths with birch leafs and wild flowers, often clad in traditional dress, we sing and dance to”små grodorna” (The little frogs song)? and “Björnen sover” (The bear sleeps). In the little frog song we hop around like frogs while in “Björnen sover” a nominated person pretends to be a sleeping bear until the song is over, then the “bear” chaise the fleeing crowd. There isn´t one person in Sweden that doesn´t know the steps to these dances.
Midsummer Eve always falls on the third Friday in June so people can enjoy a long weekend as celebrations often continue long into Midsummer Day, when people are mainly recovering from the “festivities” of the previous night.

Atually I was raised not in the middle of the city but on one of those Islands, A place called Ingarö. Ingarö is located about 20 min by bus from the center of Stockhom. It’s like living on the country side and still having a chanse to catch the hustle and bustle in a metropolis. Mmmmmmm you have to come here and se it for yourself!
Stockholm enjoy mixing past with present, and Stockholm is packed with new and historical treasures.
To know all about Stockholm you have to go back all the way to the 13th century and the best place to discover it is in Gamla Stan, which literally means “Old Town”. An enchanting place Famous for it’s cloistered, winding cobbled streets, filled whith history… like such terror as “the stockholm bloodbath” but also romanticsongwriters writing romantc lyrics to their beloved… you find all this in the walls of the houses all nestled around the Royal Palace, wispering history to you as you pass them. One feels at the heart of a medieval fantasy.

It’s time to celebrate the national day in Sweden (also know as the day of the Swedish flag). We celebrate it in memory of when the Swedish King who, in June 6 1809, signed the papers that later became the Swedish constitution, even the current constitution of today was signed June 6 1974.
For some reason June 6th didn’t become a public holiday until 2005. So help us build our new traditions by joining in our National Anthem
The Swedish National Anthem Translation
Du gamla, du fria, du fjällhöga Nord, du tysta, du glädjerika sköna!
Jag hälsar dig, vänaste land uppå jord, din sol, din himmel, dina ängder gröna, din sol, din himmel, dina ängder gröna.
Du tronar på minnen från fornstora dar, då ärat ditt namn flög över jorden.
Jag vet, att du är och du blir vad du var.
Ja, jag vill leva, jag vill dö i Norden!
Ja, jag vill leva, jag vill dö i Norden!
Thou ancient, thou freeborn, thou mountainous North, in beauty and peace our hearts beguiling,
I greet thee, thou loveliest land on the earth, thy sun, thy skies, thy verdant meadows smiling.
Thy sun, thy skies, thy verdant meadows smiling.
Thy throne rests on memories from great days of yore, when worldwide renown was valour’s guerdon.
I know to thy name thou art true as before.
Oh, I would live and I would die in Sweden,
Oh, I would live and I would die in Sweden.
