ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!

As you may see from this photo I have not been that active otherwise and have not been a good pen-pal. Please accept my apologies.

Seriously though, it's been a busy summer this year with trips to Malmö (Hi Mum & Dad). Göteborg, and the beloved Luleå. It is truly amazing how much time there is when you don't have a wedding to organise!

We have also invested our life savings and purchased a tent!! I have been heavily influenced by the 'Swedish backpacker' culture and I intend on circum-nativgating the world in white sock/sandals, backpack, dreadlocks (with Swedish pigtails) and finding love abroad (been there done that!).


I must admit that the pre-work twitches are starting to return and I have started ironing my shirts in giddy excitement of working 1o hour days again. Lady Broadley has also been preparing for University and practiced sleeping-in! (see below)

I hope you enjoy the snaps from the trips so far (Göteborg - are coming soon as they need their own newsflash!)

NEWSFLASH - The memory of Bernadotte remains..

Since 1810 has there never been such anticipation of a Royal visit.

In 181o the Swedish Riksdag had a special sitting in the Castle of Örebro to crown their new King Bernadotte. The country and especially the Örebro area were happy to receive someone from another country who they could love and call their own. History is now going to repeat itself in 2006...


Diplomats and politicians have long been in lengthy and troublesome negotiations to bring to Örebro royalty of a new order. King Docke and Princess Nana have now officially accepted an invitation to be pampered and waited upon by local residents of Örebro. The Royal couple are due to renew their promises to the Örebro people this October. We have managed to secure the first officially approved picture of King Docke for the Royal lovers of Svea!
