Monday....after multiple trips to our storage unit and time spent leaving bids at auction we headed toward Gnesta, home of Peter's cousin's country house, Klaradal. The house is now in the caring hands of the younger generation who ( like all buyers on the show house hunters) took down walls to create an open floor plan. The transformation was incredible! Previously there had been a small kitchen, small dining room, first floor bedroom, living room and a small hallway with lots of doors. They opened up the wall between the kitchen and the bedroom, made the old dining room a bedroom, and eliminated the hallways. We were there on a rainy afternoon and had a great time enjoying the new "great room" and a dinner of crayfish, beef filet, roasted beets with potatoes and lots of wine. The dinner was topped off with a blueberry cobbler made with wild blueberries picked that same day! Heavenly...
