Domsand

I came back from the rally on Gotland exhausted. I've lost weight witch I couldn't afford to do. So I booked the cabin for a weeks holiday to recuperate. Eating, sleeping, spending time with friends who are also on holiday.

The first few days were hot and sunny. Time spent around the harbour, the rigging creaking and chinking in the gentle breeze. Ice cream on the beach. A proper holiday. Lunch with friends. Good news on Östen. He is out of hospital after having a stent done. The guy must be as strong as an ox because he took me to visit the church in Habo this afternoon. Thanks to Ida for the guided tour. The inside of the church is painted with pictures all over. Not a square inch is left undecorated. I have never seen anything quite like it. Hello in cyberspace Ida. Welcome.

Eating, sleeping, and not drinking too much beer. On Tuesday I begin the long journey home. I will never be ready to leave this place and these people, so I might as well begin. Down to Malmo. Through Denmark. Ferry to Germany, then the long road west to the Netherlands, and Hoek van Hollens. Then a boat back across the North Sea to Harwich, and a full cooked English breakfast in Cambridgeshire. I am honestly looking forward to seeing friends and family, and especially Mum.

Dinner with friends on Sunday and a great stop over, escaping from torrential rain. Finally my last few hours in Domsand and an off the cuff invite to go sailing on Lake VÄttern. rare glimpses of sunshine and the peace of 2 knotts for an hour or two. leavetakings. Tomorrow I really must leave for home.

See you all soon.
