Nimakim visited Finland with his friends Pia and Timo back in August. Being a forest guardian, he felt very much at home there in the countryside. But he also braved the big city, Helsinki, to take his friends to Worldcon 75.

Gazing out of the cottage at Hawkhill Nature, Espoo.

Three baby squirrels came to say hello. Mum and one other are on the ground in the distance.

Nimakim contemplates his campfire.

Watching the clouds and listening to the wind in the trees.

Foraging #1: bilberries ready to eat. Yum!

Ack! An ants’ nest taller than I am! Just as well I am on good terms with them.

Foraging #2: Wild strawberries hidden beside the path.

On the lookout, keeping his friends safe from unfriendly trolls.

Finding some friends at Worldcon 75 in Helsinki.

Heading back to Gatwick, and home for a nice cup of tea.

Ah, that looks like a lovely place to relax. We’re sure Nimakim had a wonderful time in the forest!  Thank you for the update, Pia and Timo.
