The view across Sundö bay never fails to uplift me.

Walking around the farm in the bright sunlight and then walking down to the bay is a more or less unbeatable feeling, partly because of the scenery and partly because of my increasing familiarity with it.

Soon we will start coming here at the weekend, and then we will more or less move here for the brief summer: assuming, of course, that the brief summer actually resembles a proper summer.

I look at the reflections on the water and then look out past the end of the bay at the empty water. In a month’s time the water will fill up with boats and jet-skis.
