Well we made it! After 24 hours of flying I arrived on Thursday and Lucy arrived on Saturday. Having finished the bar and changing planes 4 times she arrived tired and hungry, but with all her bags. My father and I met Lucy at the airport in the old Rolls Royce for the red carpet effect and whisked her off to meet my grandmother.
She passed the test with flying colors and even threw in a few Swedish phrases! She even met a couple of my cousins who were still dreary eyed from the previous night's Crawfish festivities complete with hours of schnapps songs. The Finns are practicing for the rehearsal dinner, so best be prepared!
After meeting some of the clan, Lucy bravely went for her first swim in the sea and then we were off to Stenskär via boat. 3 hours later we arrived the island around 10pm. Starving and only a little wet, we unpacked and curled up with a bowl of split pea soup. After some hot tea and rum we drifted off into a sweet slumber to resume our next adventure in the morning...cooking pheasant for dinner!
