A summer house

The old Cottage I think yesterday was the warmest day of the year. Grace in Perth will of course laugh when I say that it was very warm (25C), when I decided to go for a little photo promenade around Tungelsta. This is Hagstugan at Skogs Ekeby. Three hundred years ago the foreman at the farm lived here. Today it is a summer house. For a much colder and winter like view of this cottage press here.

25C is certainly quite a bit warmer than the temperature in your winter photo.

Good to hear that you have nice wether in Sweden.
Enjoy the summer days with and without your camera:)

I liked "den røda stugan" hytten, as we say.
The link to the winter image was also very very nice.

It's hard to believe this cottage is 300 years old. A lot of work must have gone into preserving this wood building.

Still laughing Steffe!! 25C is a beautiful day indeed, and so is your image here, what a gorgeous cottage, someone is giving it a lot of TLC that's for sure.

Oh, this is very pretty. But I think we have your temperature beat, we've been about 40C - yuck!

I could use a summer house like that! It is really three hundred-year-old?

The cottage is locally also known as "Kroken" or "Svängen. Translated that means the house on the corner. It is mentioned in the Parish register from 1712 so it is of course possible that it is even older. There are two other building, including a cellar on the same property.

It's beautiful, as is the weather. In the UK we dream about 25C at the moment!
