July the 27th -31st - Hajstorp at Gøta canal |
Thursday evening we arrived Harjstorp at Gøta canal, were we should be staying during this years Tollarspeciality.
It's always exciting to see what Micke and Ninni has found and this year it was really nice. It was three cabins, a travellinghome with four big roms and also two rooms in the second floor at a cafe
There was also several barbeque places, a lot of firewood, possibility to swim in the canal and also watching a lot of nice boats passing the sluices. Adding to that, 28-30 degrees, we could'nt have a better place to stay.

The cabins were some of us spent the nights

Also other visitors came, among them the bull, Sixten on 1700 kilo with his owner and three troubadours. Cici had to ride this big animal, while others just wanted to keep distance.
Desperate Marit gave him a kiss, but as far as we know, only Marit came in through the window in the second floor on the travellinghome. We also thought firestage was ment for excape, not for coming in.... |

A frog or a bull, who cares.....during the evening people arrived from Kristiansand and Steinkjer, from Stockholm and Motala and this first night we were 16 persons and 22 dogs to stay the night.
And as usual, some would'nt go to bed before sunrise, but this evening we had entertainment of the swedish troubadours, they were really good, playing the fiddle and singing.

"Oxfolket" had their own sign

Later on friday more people and tollers arrived, so now we were 26 persons and 29 dogs to stay the night and it really started to fill up.
The bull and the singers had left, but no one was bored of that reason.
After finished the barbeque, we needed more firewood. But the evening was dark and it's not easy to see what is wood and what is a humen foot. A flashlight came on and we don't know who was most scared, Micke and Marit or the owner of the foot. And white, flaxy trousers are not the best to wear under this circumstances, or what Marit?? I

Also this wonderful weekend came to an end, we had constant something to celebrate, not at least on sunday evening. Among us were both BIB and BOS, Thasha and Mascot, BIS youth class, Bounty, BIS junior, Emil, BIS offspring class, Kazita with Mascot, shanty, Zamanth and Ki-mi and we had BOS puppy, little Caxie.
Thanks a lot Micke and Ninni for arranging this nice weekend, year after year you have found places to stay. There is not much sleeping during the weekend, but that we can do in the wintertime.
We hope there will be a possibility also next year, we are all coming and maybee even more people...!!
