Today is Walpurgis Night and finally the weather has improved considerably. Walpurgis Night is a very old tradition and used to be all about scaring away witches and bad spirits by lighting big fires (majbrasor – bonfires) for protection and making a lot of sounds to scare off evil forces. We will go to the bonfire at Riddarholmen, as we have done several times before.
Sadly, the world's most perfect teenager will not be joining us today. He is going to a bonfire outside Stockholm together with one of his best friends and his grandmother who lives there. This year will be the first time we don't watch the bonfire together.
