The Harmonious Lucia



Beautiful,
I really love her voice (and music) it somehow manages to represent
all that I love about my Swedish heritage
My beloved North



 Frid på Jord - Sofia Karlsson


Lucia is a Swedish tradition I will never get tired of, and never let go of

I'll let you in on a little secret...

Give Me Love - Ed Sheeran

For once, the choice of song is completely unrelated to the topic of the post by the way...
they're usually so packed of content haha


We look ridiculous haha.. or well.. he does

May

So I've realised something...

Young and Beautiful - Lana del Rey



How much this song matters to me... I should probably just listen to it when in doubt.
And yes. I am a retard. In some instances at least.

Halloween

Halloween was a good one. I'll be honest - it did have its ups and downs, but in the end I still had a very good time for the most of it. Especially when B was visiting - such a healthy distraction, I should always have friends over to visit me in this rainy country...
Guess who! :)

Säg ingenting till mig

'Du håller ingens hand
du tror att alla skulle titta då 
men jag håller din ibland
för det är kallt nu och jag fryser så'



Säg Ingenting Till Mig - Melissa Horn


Vet inte hur uppenbart det är, men inom svensk musik är nog Melissa Horn top 3 för mig. 
Riktigt bra musik gör hon!

Skye


So a bit over a month ago I went to this wonderful little Scottish Island called Isle of Skye. Okay, to be fair it wasn't all that small. Anyways, as I didn't have a phone or internet back then I never posted those pictures, but seeing as this place often serves as my personal memory bank, I thought I would do it now instead.


Beautiful Glencoe

View of the Skye bridge from Kyleakin 


Kyleakin map - the old Viking town & me looking like a poptart

A cute, yet angry, little dog who didn't seem to appreciate our company too much

The old Norweigian Viking princesses' castle and the remnants of a boat

Live musicians at Saucy Mary's performing Wagon Wheel and Wild Rover etc.

John being irritating 

John being persistent

Portree and the extended shoreline soon to be taken by the tide


John being irritating 0.2 and 0.3...

Portree harbour

Britishness exemplified by non-Brits...


Dunvegan Castle





My beloved new blue wellies

Dunvegan Castle from the other side of the moat



Our beautiful but ice cold camping slot


At the empty local pub with the cute old man... Not John, that is

Back at the camping with the Elephant clouds

Some beautiful tent-modelling

Proof that I'm trying different brands of Scotch Whiskey (ick!)

And the roadtripping...


The most beautiful island... Definitely worth it going back. I hope I will some day!
