A Real Viking BBQ🍗 🍺
No weather, hot or cold, snow storm or crazy draught, will stop a Viking from having a barbecue if he wants one. This is something my dad taught me when I was a teenager. I remember he was standing outside in the snow on our porch, with boots, shorts and a winter jacket. No gloves either as that would be troubling when drinking beer.
Ever since that day we have had plenty of Viking barbecues. As I live in China I sometimes only go back to Sweden once a year, and that sometimes turns out to be during the cold winter.
It can get as cold as -20 to -30, but it's a nice cold that awakens the inner Viking. You can definitely feel the power of the nature as the winter grabs the landscape and puts everything in slow motion. Everything gets more quiet and slow and calm until...
Until the evening when my dad suggest a good old Viking BBQ. I never say no to that. We get some logs and make a nice fire in the middle of the snow. We place the beer in the snow and let nature do it's job.
In a nutshell I think these barbecues are simply about defying nature and showing who's the boss. Of course nature always wins and we have to move inside after some time :)
But during that time when we are outside, me and my dad, by the fire drinking beer and laughing and barbecueing some hot dogs, that time is often the best moment I know of. If you want to do something, most times it's the mind stopping us (well also sometimes luckily it's common sense). Anyways, my point is that sometimes it's nice to let go and just live a little and not let the environment control our mood but instead feel the way we want to feel and do what we want to do.
Que ricas se ven esas chelas :3

The lesson I learn with these post. Learn to become contended and be thankful to every little things
Yea that is kind of what I wanted to get across. Sometimes being spontaneous can bring the best kind of memories ! Thank you for your commment !
nice thing..
This reminds me of growing up in the Scottish Highlands when you weren`t old enough to get into the local pub. So you just made a big camp fire in the local woods and chill your beers in the surrounding snow before you drank them. The tales of underage drinking.
Hahah that sounds like some nice memories as well ! Scotland is very beautiful, amazing scenery there . You live in England now ?
19 years in London now but your heart always belongs to the Scottish Highlands. I just think the Scottish Highlands is a great foundation during your childhood to prepare you better for adult life. You learn more from the wilderness than you did sat in a devious educated classroom. If the Scottish police caught you underage drinking on the streets not only would they pour all your drinks onto the ground. They would call back-up for a big police van and then they would put us all in the police van. Drive us out 3 miles away from our housing estate and then leave us there for a long journey back home on our feet. Police only did that cos they knew we would not be on the housing estate for the rest of the night. Giving them a more easier night. Usually when we got back home it was straight indoors and to bed.
Hahaha; that's how cops should be:)
If only haha then the streets would be more quiet from a few moments of madness in our daily lives.
nice ....@jero1
