There is no better time than the early summer for making a new commitment to the great outdoors. Let the beauty of the season be a reminder that the activities we often tell ourselves we don't have time for are exactly the sort of things that we need.
In this issue we talk to Swedish outdoor life historian, Klas Sandell about the Nordic idea of friluftsliv (free time outdoor life), what it means and why it is relevant to modern life. We hit the golf courses of Sweden with Florida transplant Gene Oberto to learn what is special about golfing in this part of the world. Julie picks edible garden weeds and shows you how to make an elegant cocktail party with them.
As weddings are on our minds in Sweden at the moment, Johanna considers how to add that something special to your gift wrapping without increasing anything but fun and creativity.
