Welcome to our summer vacation compact living!
Let us show you around on the genuine farm where we’re staying. We rent a little old working booth (that little one is where we’re staying) from a local farmer, which Mr Lifecruiser has done over twenty years. This summer he has been on Gotland & Fårö for 30 summers in a row!
This farmer is the most wonderful and that shows, people has always wanted to come back and rent from him.
This is the second year he hasn’t any lambs by his own, this is his sons who lives on another farm nearby,
he is cutting down on work now since he is 78 years old by now. They always call all sheeps for lambs at this island.
Fårö also means Sheep island if I translate it from Swedish to English right off.
We only have one very small bedroom and a small kitchen. No water, we have to fetch it in buckets.
So there is only light cooking done here. Remember, we’re on vacation! That’s also why we eat on paper plates - no one of us wants to wash up…
This was our dinner today, done with sour creme, Salsa sauce, spices, leek, sausages with pasta in the very small kitchen area.
This shelf is the only one we have to store grocerys. There is only one cupboard.
Though we can cook inside and we do have an old fridge too - ah, how I love cold beer in the summertime :-P
I just love this sign telling us where to put our compost garbages, this is living green at it’s fulliest!
The shower an toilets are out on the farm, we’re sharing that with others that stay here too.
Here are how the hot water is heated - by the sunlight in the day - so we have to be really careful how to take our showers so the hot water will be enough for everybody!
Wanna peek into our bedroom? Of course you want!
Sorry, we’re not in there! Yes, we’re only laying in one bed, and it’s even smaller than our bed at home, meaning less than 35 inches! It’s 80 cm wide. *giggles*
Don’t ask me how we do it, because even we ourselves don’t know!
To find somewhere to stay at Fårö might be tricky, since every one want to be here. And it is rather expensive to rent too, as most places in Sweden are. There are a few camping areas, but no other camping is allowed.
We went into the flea market today, even though there seldom is anything we want to buy. Today I did. Two bags full of old magazines from 1947, Husmodern, House mother magazine. I just love this old magazines!
As you could see, we have had sun here today - we have had very windy weather though, so no beach weather, because with this fine sand there is here, we would have sand everywhere!!!
This is the kind of fine sand you only find at a few places abroad, so don’t ask me how it came here from the beginning…
Another day I’ll tell you more about the sand here at the island, it’s a special story.
They say that the weather will be bad for the weekend, we’ll see how it turns out! You’ll never know with Fårö, it can be bad everywhere else but here!
