16th to 20th June 2015 Malma Kvarn

We have been at Malma kvarn since arriving on Monday. The weather has been cold and has become increasingly wet so we are glad to be in a safe harbour. We have walked a little in the neighbourhood admiring both the countryside and the numerous holiday homes around. We have had two good barbeque dinners at the restaurant with chef Johan and his wife Blenda officiating. However this happy state may well not endure. Johan has had great trouble negotiating a new contract with the Swedish Cruising club and may well pull out entirely. His restaurant has brought many people to the harbour and it is stupid to lose such an asset. We took no real part in the Midsummer festivities because of more or less continuous rain. However the summer pole was duly decorated, people danced and sang round it in the rain and later a band plyed in the harbour under a small tent but we do not know if anyone danced to them.
