My godparents have a cottage in a place called Kustavi. It’s about 100 km from Turku. The cottage has a straight view to the sea. I like the place, because it makes me calm.
My godparents purchased the place about thirty years ago.The original sauna house was converted in to a cottage with a small sauna. And so, because the condition of the converted cottage is not so good anymore, my godparents decided to build a brand new cottage in the ruins of the original cottage. I was working there for them last summer. I made a ditch for the electric wires, some of the thermal insulation disks to fit in the walls and I made also the fence surrounding the sun deck, with my father. So we got a little bit done, but there is still a lot of work ahead, before the new cottage is completely finished.I was there with my family last Midsummer day. I went fishing with my godfather, but we didn’t get anything. Still it was nice to spend some time with him. The few days eating BBQ food, swimming in the see, and spending time with my godparents, were memorable.
