Last weekend, we were invited on a trip by car towards the northwest along the large river called the Vindeln to a place on the river with an impressive series of rapids. We walked along the river track and into the forest, and again, couldn’t resist the mushrooms and berries that are SO prominent in the forest here. The small town had a very old church (Lutheran is the religion in Sweden) and a newer more impressive version close by. The lovely old church is apparently used mostly for weddings or funerals and was surrounded (as usual) with the cemetery, but in this case, much of it was family plots, each with a tidy hedge around it. Local farmers apparently make a bit of ‘pocket money’ tidying the cemeteries in the summer months.
