We stopped just outside Fjälkinge by a large field with wild flowers in all its colors.
Children (and adults) took the opportunity to run away from some restlessness and kick some football in the idyllic surroundings. When we had filled the roof of Sebastian’s car with flowers, he realized that the car keys were locked in the car..

Tosteberga is an idyllic place with nice, rural houses in the Scanian style that are close to the roads. We set up our big 6-person tent and got ready for the midsummer celebration.
