For someone who doesn’t tolerate heat weaves or anything above +20 celsius it makes sense. Forests and lakes and free wild berries and the Midnight Sun is pretty much all you really need to enjoy the summer.

Memories Of A Flag: The Power Of Symbology
I have been attracted to symbology for as long as I can remember. I pored over World War II books and built model airplanes; Supermarine Spitfires, Gloster Gladiators, and Hawker Tempests were my favourites. I fixated on the decals as I delicately added them to the finished products. The red, white, and blue concentric circles of the Royal Air Force, seemingly emulating a bullseye, interested me almost as much as the aircraft did.
