We live in Lid, an idyllic village situated in beautiful country side. The views from the garden are of open fields with grazing deer and bouncy hares and two glittering lakes. A vast forest and several more lakes are within walking distance. When exploring on foot or bike you can see Viking graves and runestones and visit a medieval church with unique painted ceilings. If you are staying for Midsummer you can take part in a traditional Swedish Midsummer celebration on the village green. On April the 30th (Valborgsmässoafton) there is a traditional bonfire on the village green to celebrate the arrival of spring. The Lid Fun Run takes place in early August with a race around Lake Glottran (7 km). On the last Saturday in September there is an autumn market in the village hall.

You are likely to see deer every day, and if you are lucky you may also spot elk and wild boar. You are free to roam, swim and pick berries and mushrooms almost everywhere in the Swedish country side.
