July in the summerhouse is a real time for relaxing for us. And also a chance to see family and friends.

Here Samuel and I are enjoying the sun, each other and the red currants (ribs). He's delighted at all things you can pick and eat outside!

The little gravel road outside our house leads down to a big farm, that produce milk. Duncan and Samuel went down to see one day and met the farmer, who showed them around. They saw his tractors, the cows and a little calf who was only a couple of hours old. It couldn't even stand up yet!

The farmers name is Allan, and because that is also the name of the farmer in Postmand Pat, I'm afarid he thinks that's what all farmers are called! :-)

One the workers came to repair the little road - huge lorries drive in and out everyday, so it takes some maintanence. We wathced, and Samuel was captivated. A real tractor working on "his" road!! We even plucked up the courage to ask, if Samuel could drive with the guy in the tractor. He drove about ten meters with him. All along having an arm out for me. Afterwards he's been so excited telling everyone willing to listen about him driving the tractor - alone.

Uncle Lasse came to spend a day with us. He was also placed in the hammock :-)

His girlfriend, Lisette, came and we all had dinner. Here Lisette and Samuel are taking pictures of the two of them.
And, off course, we saw mormor og morfar. Samuel and I went to visit a couple of days, and they came over for dinner at ours. Here morfar is helping Samuel crunching little biscuits into his youghurt (koldskål).

Summer-holiday is over. I'm tempted to say it's summer, that's over. It sure feels like it with wind and rain, but Duncan refuses to let me take August away from him as a pure summery month. So I won't mention, that I think summer is past us.

Still, it's been lovely as long as it lasted!

Uncle Alistair and auntie Sam also came to visit us in our little summerhouse. This was the first time either of them saw the house. Samuel particularly enjoyed having them around - constantly dragging one or the other by the hand to show or get help for some thing or another.

Here Samuel is helping or hindering Sam in making dinner.

We went to the sea a couple of times, as it is quite close to the house. At a particular beach we had icecreams and ended up being rather wet, as Samuel ran away from the waves.
Alistair and Sam went all in to try the much-talked-of icecreams!
Being full-time aunt and uncle takes its toll. Luckily we have a hammock!

Here everyone is captivated by the adventures of Postman Pat - or Bob the Builder...

In June several new things saw the light of day. Most importantly our friends became parents to little boy Frode. (The name is rather difficult to pronounce, Duncan tells me, as the d is "soft".) The picture is from when I took Samuel to visit in the middle of July.

Our little house had a new front door put in. Oh joy! It is no longer necessary to kick the door a little to get it opened. It is easy to lock, and it is in fact completely tight.

And Samuel cracked the secret to riding a three wheeled bicycle (which I guess is then a tricycle?) And had great fun making morfar ride it too!
