Midsummer Eve

Today, here in Sweden, it's Midsummer Eve. It is a time of year much celebrated by the Swedish people. Here in southern Sweden, the weather is at least warm and sunny.
I did my usual week day feeding round, 5-6 miles on gravel forest tracks, only seeing one other person and meeting one other car on the way round.
After the feeding round, it was off down the river to give the lab pup some water retrieving practice. It's about a mile down a forest track to the river where the ground opens out to a large area of water, flood meadows. All the time I was down there, not a person was seen.
It's hard to beat a bit of solitude.

Bliss....
It is truly bliss. It's easy to get complacent about your surroundings when it is just a normal day to day thing. That track down to the river is paticularly stunning with the stone wall that reminds you of the backbreaking work of previous generations and the dark mature forest on both sides of the track.
I was out doing a little hidden dummy work this morning with the pup and saw a wild boar sow with a nice litter of 5-6 piglets. Yesterday, there was a golden eagle perched in a tree up by the flight pond. A great quality of life for little money.

Thats what its all about, a million miles away from all the hustle and bustle.
