Swedish Sisters... First Aid Kit
Getting into the local vibe listening to Johanna and Klara aka First Aid Kit. Really liking their running through Norwegian woods in medieval dress vibe and going to see them next week at the Wardrobe in Leeds, before I move to Stockholm. Really like their version of Fleet Foxes 'Tiger Mountain Peasant Song'.
Zadig & Voltaire
On a recent trip to Stockholm saw this ad in the Zadig & Voltaire shop on Birger Jarlsgatan... Lumberjack Alert

Mary Magdalen and Me
During my time in London I have lived with my friends mum. I'm really going to miss this place and Maggie. The room that I rent I share with a beautiful painting of Mary Magdalen. At first I thought she was creepy but months on she has grown on me. I've always loved art but this oil painting in particular has a story (even better). To the right of this painting is a framed letter from a man claiming the painting was originally his. He claims it was stolen from his parents house in South East London in 1940, when they had all been bombed out during the Second World War. He also states, he was once told it was meant to be Mary Magdalen.
So that explains Mary Magdalen and Me.
Midsummers Day Sweden
I move to Stockholm in less than a month! One thing i'm looking forward to is Midsummers day! Swanning off to the country to dance around a maypole with flowers in my hair, happy times ahead
