Flaggan i topp och parken är sommarfin. Det är bara de vackra brudparen och glada gästerna som saknas. Vi hoppas så att allt snart kan återgå till det normala!

Den här våren liknar inget vi tidigare upplevt. På väldigt kort tid har tillvaron förändrats i grunden för väldigt många. Vår bransch, med konferenser, bröllop och andra event drabbas hårt. Vi lider med alla de brudpar som nu de närmaste veckorna skulle firat sin stora dag här hos oss men som nu tvingats tänka om totalt. Vi kan bara hoppas att situationen snart vänder. Som resultat av alla av- och ombokningar så står våra hus nu tomma de allra flesta dagar i april och maj. Här finns alltså möjlighet för den som vill komma ut på landet och hyra något av våra välutrustade hus för en helg, några dagar eller kanske en vecka med familjen eller de närmaste. Kanske blev den planerade utlandsresan inställd? Eller så behöver man bara lite miljöombyte i dessa tider. Våra hus hyrs ut med självhushåll och ligger i en vacker miljö med fantastiska möjligheter till friluftsliv. Även påskhelgen och påsklovet är ledigt! Välkomna in på hemsidan för att läsa mer om våra hus; www.rockelstad.se

Vi önskar alla en fin vår och varmt välkomna att höra av er!

The Kegelbahn / Skittle alley is one of the most peculiar houses on the farm. Situated on the castle's west side, disturbing the view of the lake is an elongated yellow house. For some strange reason everyone seems to believe it's a place to change into swimming suits.

Kegel came to Sweden in the 1860:s from Germany and Austria, and was a very popular sport around 1900. Our Kegelbahn was built around 1880. Many farms had them, but nowadays not so many of them are left. Skansen and the Hallwyl museum in Stockholm has one each, indicating it was an upper class sport. The city of Finspong is otherwise considered the center for Kegel. In the United states they used 10 cones instead of 9, and renamed the sport Bowling.

We have a bar inside it. Our kegelbahn is in such a bad condition you have to take a drink before you roll the bowl. I remember the 1990:s when my father had important customers for the steal manufacturer SSAB here. It was bosses of Japanese shipping companies, the French car manufacturers and some Saudi sheiks. They ordered a basked of booze and my father to entertain them while playing. As a child I only heard the loud noise. I now understand they were having fun.

This weekend we have some families renting two houses, otherwise it's Corona-lull. The farm has many legs to stand on, and we try to postpone and rebook as many events as possible. It's so strange the Swedish government still hasn't understood they need to really help small business. not just provide impossible-to-get loans. If our dry-cleaner goes bankrupt we will need to do a lot of washing.

New website today. Finally after 22 years we release a new website at www.rockelstad.se (swedish only so far).

We wanted a website that looks antique, goes in the baroque style with golden ornaments, but still has a breeze of modern delight. Mobile optimized ofcourse, and easily updated with loads and loads of pictures.

In 1998 we put 1100 hours into the old website, planning for it to last forever. 700 pictures that now are to small. This time we were planning to get help. But should we ask a webdesigner or an antique-dealer. No good combination found, so I made it myself, took me 2,5 month and around 500 hours of c-sharp programming and photoshopping.

Many new sites looks like they are made from the same wordpress template, containing salespitches and bu****it. I'm not saying our site is any better, only different. But it contains useful features like pictures of all bedrooms, and integration with our booking calendar (which I also built by the way). Works in my Iphone SE (pictures are nicer when phone is flipped).

Now I can start reading the newspaper, look at Instagram and talk to my children again.

Entrance hall completed after christmas renovation. The red color to our satisfaction. We really didn’t like the old paintings that hung there, and as we got to many animalheads in the big hall, some of them found a new home in the entrance. And maybee we can fool someone that we are actually hunting on our estate, or why not just scare someone.

Some new lamps also found their way here to get the bloody color shining. And by the way, this was were the säpo (secret police) guys were standing when Stefan L (boss of bosses) visited us.

Finally, Andrea, I am not back yet as I have so much much with our new website, and multitasking is not my thing.
