Studiedag Adventures

Despite it being a regular Monday after a four-day weekend, Eddie’s school had a studiedag – a staff development day – which meant I had to come up with something to do. Since we have been to Styrsö many times, Eddie and I decided to take the boat to neighbouring Brännö, an island I had not visited since I was four years old.

Returning 42 years later, the skies soon turned sunny as we set off to explore the island and the Galterö Nature Reserve. Unfortunately, all the cafés and restaurants were still closed for the season, so we had to improvise with supplies from the local convenience store. For me, that meant antipasti; for Eddie, cinnamon buns and a Coke (yes, I felt like the worst parent ever).

At Galterö, we paused for a “sheepfie” but skipped the planned swim, a growing pile of work emails on my phone made it hard to fully relax. Still, a pretty great way to spend a bonus Monday.
