Alas, another Summer is already gone.
Formally.
This weekend End of Cottage Season was celebrated here in western Finland and smaller parts of eastern Sweden.
Weather played its part too. Friday was probably the last warm day of the year, plus 23 or more, sunny and full summer. Saturday, the End of Summer season celebration night, started fine, but from mid-day it started raining and it just continued, slowly, all night. Sunday had ok weather but clearly chillier, around 17 degrees. The first day of Fall, just as Friday was the last full day of Summer. And in between the End of Cottage Season celebrations on Saturday.
Timing is everything.
We chilled, and had real good food, but no party this year. But of course music was part of the celebrations, as always.
Villaavslutningen är firad, sommaren 2022 officiellt avslutad, och det är klart att vemodet infinner sig med höstmörkret. Minns de finaste, varmaste sommardagarna och -nätterna, och se framåt, hösten har också sina vackra, stämningsfulla stunder.
Remember the best days of Summer 22, and enjoy the beginning of Fall season 22.
