Having spent time in Sweden, I'd have to say that it looks idyllic. When the weather is fine...it's incredible..and when it's bad...like they say, stay indoors make a fire.
It's peaceful and silent and restful and when compared to the Uk, it doesn't have any people...which is sort of weird. I spent two weeks out in the sticks..and had a bit of culture shock when I got back here...Fuck, it's soooo over crowded here, literally hundreds or tens of thousands per square mile. You are lucky to see more than about 10 people a day in some places (ie more likely about 2 a day...in the sticks in sweden) even though I grew up in the country side, without trying to sound a little stupid or senseless, I haven't had that much of a revelation in a long time.
