The questions we asked the municipal councilors:

1.What have you had now during the summer?

2. How has this summer been compared to other summers given the corona situation?

Erik Pelling (S)

1. The summer has been above expectations. I had set myself up for a summer that would be different and a lot would happen in politics, but the infection situation has developed positively during the summer. I have traveled to relatives in Gotland, to Östergötland and Örsundsbro. I have always had the corona in mind and spent time outdoors.

2. Before the corona outbreak, I had planned to take a turn to Denmark and I have a sister in Vienna. But it has been impossible to go there.

Mohamad Hassan (L)

1. We have been a turn to Uddevalla to the parents-in-law and a trip to Öland because my son graduated as a doctor and could not celebrate before but celebrated now instead.

2. We usually sail with the family and the only difference is that we did not sail to Åland. For my part, it has not differed so much from previous years because we are usually in Sweden.

Caroline Hoffstedt (S)

1. I have spent a lot of time with my sister's family and her children in Skåne and met them that I have not been able to meet them during the spring. I went by train because I do not have my own car and followed the recommendations to keep my distance.

2. I have not disconnected from work in the way I usually do, I have kept up to date and worked a lot but it has been nice not to sit as much at the computer as in the spring. I really do not complain, I know how hard, among other things, assistant nurses toil.

Rickard Malmström (MP)

1. We have made several mini trips, mostly in Uppland but also to Dalarna and Kebnekaise. We have ridden both car and train.

2. I usually do not make any big trips, I usually stay within the country's borders, it's so beautiful. The most different thing was that we booked our own sleeping compartment on the train when we were going to hike in Kebnekaise. But we usually move in Sweden so there is no big difference.

Linda Eskilsson (MP)

I have had a different summer because the situation has been as it has been, we have avoided places where there have been a lot of people and been a lot in the in-laws' cottage in Dalarna.

2. Otherwise we usually make trips a little longer within Sweden but now we have made more day trips and we have adapted so that we can get home to the right region if we get sick. The children may have thought it was a little more boring, but I think it was a little nice.

Helena Hedman Skoglund (L)

1. I have grown in the garden and taken care of the chickens we got in the spring. Since then I have been to flea markets and with my parents-in-law near Grisslehamn. I have also been a few days in Stockholm, otherwise I have enjoyed at home.

2. It has been special of course for everyone, but just for me personally it has been calm and I have enjoyed a lot at home. I am glad that I got to have a holiday unlike some others who worked a lot.

Jonas Segersam (KD) 

1.I have had children and been busy with the baby and my five other children. The longest I have traveled is in Uppland, we have been on day trips in the area. It is positive to discover the local area. There is very nice nature in the areas around Uppsala. 

2. My wife is Norwegian and we usually visit her parents in Norway or vice versa. We have not been able to do that this year, so we have mostly received some visits at home.  

Therez Almerfors (M)

1. My family and I have been camping and riding around in our caravan. We have visited many places in Uppland and bathed, played mini golf and eaten ice cream. We have also been to Barnens ö and Furuviksparken. We have avoided traveling further, except for a trip to northern Öland which we had to do due to family reasons.    

2. We have been more restrained than usual with what we have done and with whom we have met.  

Fredrik Ahlstedt (M)

1. I have mostly been in my holiday home in Östhammar. I have also made day trips to Gävle, Stockholm, Uppsala and been in Sundsvall for a few days. I went there by car and train. 

2. It has been different because I have met significantly fewer people than usual and had limited contact. Usually I spend the summer in Sweden, which is best in the summer. 

Tobias Smedberg (F)

1. I have spent time with my family. I have been trying to come up with fun things with my four children. We have done forest excursions in Uppsala and boat excursions to Ekoln. We have also made a trip to a family cottage in Dalarna and visited Gäveborg County. It is within reasonable distance and we got there by car. 

2. There has been less contact with loved ones, which has been boring. Otherwise, my summers usually look like this, I try to have time with the children and be out in nature. Usually we go to my family on the West Coast. We have not done this this year to avoid long journeys.

Stefan Hanna (-) The Development Party Democrats 

I have traveled around Sweden with my family. We have traveled by car and been to Norrköping, Västervik, Söderhamn's archipelago, on the West Coast and around Uppland. I also played a lot of golf with my wife and daughter. 

2. You notice that many vacationed in their immediate area, which should mean that many wisely did not go abroad. Then it is incredibly sad that it has not been possible to meet the oldest people in the family, as our family always does.
