Introduction
Leena and Neal, whom we both love very much, live and work in Helsinki but also enjoy escaping to their `Summer Cottage' - located on the edge of a lake in...ah, but... that's Leena's secret!
The `Summer Cottage' has been in the family for three generations and is actually a delightful complex of main house, lakeside sauna, boathouse, sleigh and logsheds etc., all `far from the madding crowd'.
They've shared it with us in all four seasons. And, whatever the weather, just being there together - together with them - is never less than a truly magical, re-energising, experience.
Hope you've got such true, life-long, friends willing to share `their secret place' with you - and who, together, make you feel so happy to be alive.
