Our July holiday in Skåne (southern Sweden) was glorious. The weather doesn't always cooperate in summer but this year it did.
My son's happiness in this lovely part of Sweden was infectious. He has grown up in a variety of ways with all the new nature experiences, family, friends, the sea and fabulous weather. It was a joy for my wife and I to witness.
Below are 15 pictures throughout the 3 weeks. As you continue down the page, you will see more photos in three scenes;

Our July holiday in Skåne (southern Sweden) was glorious. The weather doesn't always cooperate in summer but this year it did.Being 45 feet (15 meters) away from the sea, there is nothing better than hearing the waves caress the night air as you drift off to sleep. Once awake, breakfast outside followed by the the beach or visiting friends. Late afternoon begins the family or friend dinners in the evening sun. A sprinkling of golf, running, tennis, writing and a lot of lounging makes the holiday complete.
My longtime friend from Boston visited with his Swedish wife and child. We had a wonderful week and their daughter was in heaven playing in the sea, exploring nature and splashing in the kids pool! The GOOD LIFE as he called it. Indeed.
