Julbord at Rosersbergs castle

The julbord at Rosersberg's castle

The Juno wing

What a wonderful 1st Advent this has been.
Sleeping in until 8.00, coming down to readymade breakfast :-) Hasse and I sat and ate breakfast for an hour while reading the paper and chatting. A very nice way to start the day.

At 1.25 we fetched Jonas at his home and drove him to the trainstation. He was going back to Borlänge and the recording. He and two of the other guys had leave this weekend so they could go home. Their album is coming along great he says and I'm so happy for them.

Then straight to Rosersberg's castle and there we met our good friends Kitte and Janne and walked up to the courtyard. The road was lined with cressets showing the way. It was a very foggy day and although it was just 2 o'clock when we arrived it was nice to see them lights. When we left they were quite necessary. Then up to the "Miss Wing" or the "young ladies wing". It was here the young unmarried ladies used to stay in the 17th and 18th century. Maybe also in the 19th but I'm not sure there. Anyway it was here just beside the door to the left where my office used to be for 15 years or so. I also had other offices in this wing so it was a bit sentimental for me to enter here.

This whole experience, I can't call it anything else, started in the Juno Wing where we were served glogg with ginger bread. Then up to the dining room where the julbord was layed. We got a table for four in the room they called Gibraltar (this used to be our smoking-room)
The food was excellent. So good and so just enough of everything but nothing was missing. We ate long and well. After that it was down again to the Juno wing where the all important Christmas sweets and coffe was served. The service was 5-star I might add. So if you on your way passes Rosersberg, don't pass, go in there and enjoy the julbord and the atmosphere. You can't beat an atmosphere like that.

Beside here you can see the wonderful Christmas tree
and the gorgeous Christmas candy table.
