We're here!

It was an early start but our trip out to Stavsnäs was smooth. The bus and the boat were both pretty empty, although we saw Annica and Ole, which was a treat.

The sea was pretty iced over, and there is a lot of snow on the island. The main path was OK but the last bit to our house was deep. We were knee-high in places!

The house was warm, it was great that Janne turned on the heat for us. It was a balmy 70°F inside by dinnertime, and only 20°F outside. Cozy!

Grant and I (well. mostly Grant) moved a lot of snow off the deck, I calculated 2700 pounds' worth. At least it was light and fluffy. Otherwise, the house seems to be in great shape. Lots of photos are on the Christmas webgallery and lots more tomorrow.
