The Land of Ice and Darkness?

After last year’s blog brought a host of impressions from Ireland, this year we’ll venture to another European country. Some of you might have an inkling as to which country it will be after reading the headline. It’s not Sweden or Norway.

So, what else is up there in the North? – Right, Finland (which was named the best country in the world by Newsweek in 2010); or Suomi, as the Finns call it.
Monty Python has the right of it when singing: “Finland, Finland, Finland, the country where I want to be […] You’re so sadly neglected / And often ignored […].”
