Weather conditions
Up until now, autumn has been pleasant with crisp mornings and sunny, warm afternoons. It's becoming clear that's no longer the case - the days are getting shorter, the weather is growing cold enough to fog your breath and you probably don't want to go outside without a jacket.
This is also the time for indoor activities, as the autumn rains are coming in. Brief showers, day-long torrents, the occasional thunderstorm, it's getting
wet on Norrhamn. Stock up on umbrellas and wellies, brew a pot of tea and gather your pals for a night of boardgames. If you're a more outdoorsy person, there's still some mushrooms to find in the woods but you better be quick - winter is approaching.
Kura Skymning
There's a tradition in Sweden called
kura skymning, roughly translated 'to nestle in the twilight'. It goes back to pre-electricity times and marked the end of the day - twilight lasts a long time up here in the North, and so people took this time of low light as an opportunity to sit down and rest after a long day, enjoy the waning light and take a moment to think and reflect.
This was also the prime time to tell stories, and that's exactly what's going to happen in Norrhamn. Valborg - the resident folklorist - has set up camp in the Community Centre with a whole bunch of stories in her back pocket. Want to hear about the Brook, or her cousin who swears they heard a myling once, or perhaps about that mysterious death that took place on the mainland? The coffee is brewing, the cinnamon buns are warm out of the oven, the sun is setting. Why don't you join her and share some stories of your own? Or maybe just talk amongst yourselves? Get to know your neighbours!
Those who nestle in the twilight may feel
more comfortable sharing stories of their own, even if they'd normally play it closer to the chest. Maybe it's just a safe space, or maybe there's something a little more...
supernatural at play. Who knows? We're just telling stories here.
