End of season



I'm getting in my car again, driving the 350 km to my family and my summer cabin out in the arcipelago. This weekend is a festive one in the region where I come from (we name it villaavslutning or veneziaden, depending on the area). We "celebrate" or mourn for, depends on one's interests I guess, the end of the archipelago season. It's definitely getting darker quickly now, and it's quite chilly outside. There are bonfires on every small island, by every cottage, both by sea and by land. And there will be lots of fireworks! I for sure belong to those mourning that the cottage season is gone.

No, but I do belong to a minority in Finland, the Swedish-speaking Finns.
