Well, I'm glad to hear you have enjoyed finding this blog =) One of the good sides of the internet: allowing people to accidentally stumble upon interesting stuff.

I have visited UK couple of times, and once I took a train from London to see the Warwick castle. During the journey I could only spot a small patches of forest in the distance, as everything else was either urban or cultivated land - that is so different compared to Finland, where the forest basically stretch all the way from the capital city up the Lapland, and urban / cultivated areas are just patches inside the forest =) Oh well, but of course I must say that most of the forest nowadays is kind of a semi-cultivated land, which is very different from natural old-growth forests. So, I'm very lucky that I'm not living next to a clearcut, but next to a nice forest =)

Once I was up in the Scotland, and there the scenery was much more familiar. I actually liked the highlands very much, and would like to return some day. It would be great to spend several days hiking the mountain trails.

But, uh oh - being arrested for walking in a forest carrying an axe? In Finland that would be considered a serious violation of basic rights!
