This blog is for the Skogstad family! We (Jørgen, Ann-Kristin, Thea and Nicolai) have moved to Melbourne in Australia .. and I guess need somewhere to post stuff from our ventures down under. Not that it would be of much use to others, but we could at least save some of it for our one future reference and use!

17th of May celebrated at the Swedish Church in Melbourne

This years 17th of May we celebrated at the Swedish Church in Melbourne (Australia). As you can see from the collage the kids had a blast. Lots of Scandinavians.. well to be honest, there are not many around here.. so "lots" is relative, right! Alot of 'friends of Norway' were there too. All in all a very good day. I guess the only drag was the fact that we could not walk the streets of Toorak. The crazy thing here in Australia is that you need insurance to be allowed to to public marches like this. Can amount to quite a bit, hence the parade could not be done in public, but had to be done in the courtyard. Not the same, but still ..

.. and the last thing, we actually celebrated the 17th of May on Sunday the 21st.

Hi
Yes Jorgen, it was a nice 17 mai celebration. But they are picky about marching around.
Rosanna, Nice that you like The Swedish Church. We still got newspapers, books in both nowegian and swedish. Hope to see you here. Per Anders, Vicar at the Swedish Church
