Rotting Volvos, and underpants. Musings from the E10.

Posted on July 17, 2018by Kelvin Collins

For me Sweden will for ever be synonymous with trees, thousands of miles of trees. We’ve seen a few cool sights. Elk. Three of them, each on separate occasions. Huge and lumbering, they look like creatures from a different time (as indeed they are). Reindeer. A single male, and then a complete delight as a […]

Norway. Part 2. The midnight sun.

Posted on July 9, 2018by Kelvin Collins

Norway. Part 1. The Architect’s Toilet.

Posted on July 2, 2018July 2, 2018by Kelvin Collins

An invisible border. Narrower roads – shit that truck was close! Yellow lines down the middle. And hills, and views, and coast and, and, and there’s so much to see. Fjords. Real ones like we expected. Huge sides carved by glaciers. Choppy, freezing cold looking, ultra blue water. Spirits lift, the road opens, and we’re […]

Sweden. You’d better like green.

Posted on June 25, 2018by Kelvin Collins

Sitting outside of the port of Gothenburg 150 large ships await instructions from hedge fund managers. In their penthouse suites the guys in control watch prices move until the right moment to dock. Our vast Stena Line ferry glides by on battery power taking us a long way into the city, past calm sweet islands […]

Denmark. Take it slow.

Posted on June 17, 2018June 17, 2018by Kelvin Collins

Denmark takes time For instant gratification the Scottish Highlands take some beating. Denmark is different. Utterly different. This is an entirely calmer place and its beauty takes time to recognise. After two nights of pleasant places, exciting houses, but less than exciting scenery we headed further north. Crossing some of the marsh lands felt like […]
