Thank you!

Captures from Finland, Photography

I am writing to to apologize for not having responded to all your comments, I have read them and I appreciate your time that you have taken to write them and look through the photos I have posted. I thank you! Below is my excuse 🙂

Finnish summer is usually mild and warm with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C. The days are long and the nights are short. In fact, during midsummer, the sun never sets in some parts of Finland.

That is a fact and due to that, I like many others, feel quilt if I spend a sunny summer day inside. Weather is topic well discussed here as it can change so quickly, from sunny to cloudy to rain and back again to sunny. As the days are long I spend most of my summer days outdoors.

On a warm sunny morning I start the day by having my breakfast on the patio, the sun is shining bright and the sky is blue. The birds are chirping and the flowers are in full bloom. I love soaking up the sun and enjoying the warm weather, enjoying the peace and quiet of nature. when the time comes to have lunch, we shall enjoy it outside. And well rest of the day is mostly spent outside. We enjoy going to the beach, swimming in lakes, hiking in the forest and having barbecues with friends and family or just sitting and reading, laying in the hammock. Summer, bliss. Basically I am outside from 9 am to 9 pm. Then I am too tired to do anything much.

I tell you all above, because I am outdoors all the time, weather has been OK, not hot, not cold. Comfortable- and I have been outside otherwise I feel like I am committing a crime. We have a long, and cold winter when we get to spend most of our time inside so you HAVE to be out in the summer.

Here are some of our summer joys to accompany this post. Nature is giving us some lovely berries from our own yard. Bilberries from the forest and we have few redcurrants shrubs , strawberries are from the marketplace.

  1. Oh, lucky you…bilberries! Haven’t had any for years, and they are so much nicer than blueberries

      1. Bilberries speak of childhood forays in North Wales and later on I was able to get bottled ones from Poland….
        but, no longer

        1. Sad, what is so everyday thing to us is a luxury to others. We also have lingonberries in our yard, we do not use them that often, and wild raspberries so we are very lucky when I come to think about it

  4. Have a wonderful time. I’ve only been to Finland in very early one spring and in a different autumn. I’ve completely missed out on this wonderful summer that you have. I guess later in the year we’ll see some of the wonderful mushrooms that you have.

    1. We have wonderful mushrooms, but I don’t know the ones that are edible, but I know lots who are fanatic about keeping secret about the mushrooms places so they can keep them to themselves 😃

  5. It’s funny… you crossed my mind yesterday when I realized I hadn’t “visited” you in a bit. I love this post. I would do the same, take advantage of every waking moment.
