It was a hot (24 degrees) and humid (94%) weekend with thunder in the air. It was raining, and the house was full of life and noice. All JD’s children with their partners, kids and pets, and my daughter Inka – altogether 11 people. Our pop-up restaurant was quite busy. However, I am happy that our girls and boys are participating in the kitchen, offer help and always clean the table etc. It's teamwork.
JD and I left the Island and headed for the Billnäs Antique Fair, some 60 km from Kemiö towards Tammisaari. It has been our target almost every summer. I like old furniture and watching antigues, the region is very beautiful – both Billnäs and Fiskars villages – and even driving there is as if you were in Tuscany. Beautiful hills and fields, pittoresque old little houses and lush gardens.
In Billnäs Antique Fair we found a table for our city kitchen, although the event was a bit disappointment. There were not so many sellers as earlier. But there was a similar event going on in Fiskars, some kilometers away, and there were over 70 antique sellers and a lot of beautiful stuff. Also a lot of visitors.
The thunder storm did not reach Kemiö (good, because the electricity goes off quite often then). I made a strawberry cake for dessert. It was so warm in the evening that we sat until 2 am outside (at least some of us). The house never sleeps… Roy, JD’s daughter’s Annie’s partner, woke at 4 am to do some yoga and little Ollie normally wakes up at 6 or 7 am.
