Cottage weekend in Korppoo, June 2008

One of our members, Ulla-Brit Mattsson, kindly offered us the chance of kicking off the summer season at one of her family's rented cottages on a small island in Korppoo.

It was a real pity that most of our members were already busy with their summer holidays, so only the chair, secretary and their Japanese friend could enjoy this relaxing weekend on the island with only 5 cottages, and at the time, nobody else around.

Ulla-Brit and her husband Yngve showered us with their hospitality by kindly taking us to and fro in their boats.

In the evening, before sauna and the traditional sausages, we were even invited to Ulla-Brit's childhood island where we were treated to lovely snacks surrounded by the breath-taking archipelago scenery.


Do check all the island photos to be enticed to take up this opportunity if we are invited again another summer!

It should be emphasised that the buildings depicted are the host's childhood residences and most cetainly NOT their current abode (!): only becuase the Chair has an abiding passion for the many elder structures that so oft,admirably and historically get left intact in this society. (PW)
