Blueberries :D
I love Sweden for the Everymans Right. If you dont know what im talking about then this is what Wikipedia says:
"In Sweden, the Allemansrätt (lit. All men's right) has existed for many centuries[citation needed] only as a customary law. But since 1994 it is part of the Swedish constitution.[6] As in other Nordic countries, the Swedish right to roam comes with an equal emphasis being placed upon the responsibility to look after the countryside; the maxim is "Do not disturb, do not destroy".
The Allemansrätt gives a person the right to access, walk, cycle, ride, ski, and camp on any land - with the exception of private gardens, the immediate vicinity of a dwelling house and land under cultivation, and with restrictions for nature reserves and other protected areas. It also gives the right to pick wildflowers, mushrooms and berries provided one knows they are not legally protected, as well as the right to visit beaches, to swim in any lake and put an unpowered boat on any water. Exception if the beach belongs to a private garden. Permission to build a private house is usually not given so close to the beach that this right is obstructed.
Fishing remains essentially private - apart from on the biggest five lakes and the coast of the Baltic Sea, the Sound, Kattegat and Skagerrak - and access to land by means of motor vehicles can be limited or restricted. At certain times of the year, and with certain restrictions, both fires and dogs are also permitted.
It is not free to drive a car on a private road, or to camp in a caravan on such roads, or on private parking places. This means in reality that caravan camping is best done on camping places (or rest areas along roads, even though it is not recommended)."
So today we just went out to the forest and picked up blueberries aswell as raspberries. Since I live in Sweden, the forest is always close and free for everyone to walk in and pick up berries etc.
It was so relaxing and peaceful and I only heard an air plane aswell as one or two cars during our time their.
And right now, we are baking Blueberry Muffins of them 
My mum took a picture so I might upload a picture of them here. We are not the best bakers in the world though xD
