Sankta Lucia, ljusklara hägring
December 13 is St Lucia's day, and as there were three Swedish people living in the house on that day, Lussekatt (saffron buns) were baked, Lucia chosen (Fran, with her lovely golden hair), and every sleeping member of the house was wakened by the candlelit procession entering their room and singing traditional songs, starting at 6am.
I was enchanted by it all, and could only sit up in bed smilingly wide-eyed, like a child, as they sang to me, but as the group left the manse to sing to Chris and the children in the house across the road, I managed to grab one shot. Initially I was disappointed that it wasn't clearer, but I've come to like it very much.
