Picking berries after work is one potential activity for the average Swede. Unlike my previous home, London, which sprawls out for miles and miles of inhabited space, in Sweden you are never too far away from a forest, even in built up cities. There is Epping Forest outside London which Londoners can make the effort to journey to, but I doubt many would do this after a long day of work.
In this picture I'm picking Lingonberries in, a common Swedish berry. I also collected a substantial pot of blueberries, which grow all over Sweden and can be found easily. The joy of foraging, picking and making your own food is enjoyed by many and I can understand why.
