I’ve been celebrating the Midsummer Day with my family. Here in Finland, the whole country basically closes down for the weekend and almost everyone heads to the countryside. Fire officials had banned bonfires this year, so no ‘kokko’. Lots of good food and even greater company, plenty of swimming and enjoying the sauna!

I’m from Finland, and my favourite is Fazer milk chocolate with strawberry bits. Excellent in a hot summer day!

I have to say I have no idea. What an interesting question!

I live in Finland, and the winters can be pretty rough. There is also a long tradition of building from wood. It would be impractical to build a house, usually with several fireplaces, only for the heat to escape through the ground.

Dirt floors are only used in structures where people don’t spend the night, for example sheds. Also, there is an old church from the 15th century with the original dirt floor because of its historical significance.
