A Swedish summer house


In 1974 my aunt built a summer house, a timber cottage, next to a beautiful lake in Sweden.
It is small – a small room for sleeping and a big room for cooking, eating, resting, relaxing. There is a cellar to keep food and a low attic where three beds give guests extra room.





Next to this cozy cottage is a small shed with an outdoor toilet and chopped wood for the oven.
Yeah, outdoor toilets may not be your dream and washing in the lake during the summer may also be a little too cold for more delicate souls.

But for me, this place is beautiful when I come for short visits.
