Håtuna holm
Runic inscription:
Håkan on Håtuna 50 years, many things he did.Friends raised the stone. Kalle carved
The brothers Kåre and Håkan
live on the farm Håtuna Holm in Bro municipality a few miles
north of Stockholm. Håkan, the older brother, would soon be
50 years old. Kåre, the younger had come on a good gift ...
Håkan had previously found a large nice stone in the field
that he took home and raised on the farm. Now that Håkan was
about to age 50,
Kåre took the stone,
covered it over and carried it secretly to me to have it
carved to a real rune stone.
My work started on a cold February
The stone was hard, really "rock hard" so it sounded loud
when I carved. But I was not worried, I had plenty of time.
Call the police!
Suddenly, the younger brother Kåre contacts me and says:
- My brother has discovered that the stone is gone and he
became so furious that he went to the police and reported it
stolen.
Now the rune stone must be completed as soon as possible and
transported back early. I carve and carve froze and carve.
In the end, the rune stone was completed and Håkan got his
stone back as a real rune stone. Now it is raised on the farm
again with a sign with information in front.
... and the police report was written off.
