A quarter of the population own a country cottage used in both summer and winter. There is an almost mystical bonding between the Finns and what they call “the nature”, a relationship which blends spiritual values with more earthy pleasures. Finland was an entirely agrarian economy until the 1950s. Many summer retreats are farmhouses that have been handed down by the families whose breadwinners now live in the city. Ideally, the cottage will be on the water’s edge, surrounded by quiet forest. It will have an open fireplace, a poetic verandah, a pier, a boat, an inevitable sauna and a vegetable patch. Most are rough hewn but cozy, with unpolished wood. Water might be well-drawn; there is electricity, but candlelight is preferred. The fewer concessions to modernity, the better.
