a cross made out of vines in the middle of a field

Glad Midsommar! Ok, it's not midsummer quite yet, but the 21st and 22nd of June is when you can say this to people in Sweden this year. Happy Midsummer, for the English-speakers amongst us. I suddenly realised that the midsummer festival was almost upon us. Time has flown by this year and so I've pushed back the post I did have for today and decided to put together a little "call to action". In case anyone feels like throwing together a little impromptu midsummer party then let me be your…

a group of people dancing around a cross made out of vines and leaves in a field

Today is Midsommar in Sweden, which means Dancing, Fun, Flowers, Friends and Food! Traditionally this is the day to celebrate the summer solstice.

an illustration of a woman with flowers in her hair, holding a bouquet of daisies

Hi Everyone and Welcome. Today I have sweet illustrations from the 1888 children's book 'A Merry Go Round'. It was illustrated by Constance Haslewood. This children's book was published 126 years ago! I love seeing what kids played with back then. Tea parties,dollhouses and of course Christmas have endured. Skipping rope and kite flying are still around. Not so sure about the May Queen. The tradition of a May Queen was not part of my childhood (50 years ago) so I do not know it's history…
