Closing the summer house for the winter


Two weekends ago, my mother, father, brother and I went to our summer house at the south coast to close it for the winter. Luckily, the weather was good. November is a bit late to take up the boat, because there can be some nasty storms that time of the year. The house is the building you see on the right side. It is on a group of three small islands called Lyngør. My grandparents bought the property in the fifities, making their best buy in their lives.




The lighthouse, viewed from outside our kitchen.














The boat that is still on the water is ours, and we are about to drag it ashore with my grandfather's homemade wiresystem.
Cleaning the boat. (Charlene, notice my Joe F. pants ;)
To the right is the beach. The water is quite shallow, so it gets warmer there than on the other side of the house where it is deep.
Come visit me at Lyngør this summer!

Hello HC! Lovely, tasty sausage blog :) The pictures are fabulous. I am in awe of your office in particular. Do you pray to the great gods of modernity before entering the building? ;) Lyngoer is lovely, hope to go back there sometime! Antonie
