Mellan hägg och syren

Mellan hägg och syren Årsta slott
A bit of a tradition. I usually take the bike down to Årsta castle this time of the year. It is close to the coast and my favorite beach, Årsta Havsbad. There is a newish promenade here that you can take to learn more about local history. Also, this not very comfy bench that I often use. On this occasion, shared with a bunch of flies. The title of the post is from a cordwainer that back in the day closed his shop this time of the year to enjoy the time when everything bloomed. The story says that he put up a sign on his door with the words, Stängt mellan hägg och syren. Closed between Hackberry, and Common lilac.

That building looks classic with the numbers of windows on the roof!

If you check it out at flickr there are more photos in my Årsta Castle album.

In any case, it remains a beautiful sight Stefan.
