We wish all our readers and friends a Happy New Year 2017! By the time you read this, we will have celebrated the new year at Wallmans salons in Stockholm, together with our friends Lennart and Beata. We hope to report and show pictures from the celebration tomorrow, but reporting at 06:00 the next morning is a bit optimistic. Instead, you'll have to make do with a little cavalcade of memories from our previous years, when we celebrated New Year's Eve in different countries - from clubs in Ukraine to beaches in Asia.

Read moreOk, here we go and that's Peter behind the bottles. Last Friday, I was at the photo, food and wine fair in Stockholm, looking for something fun. I started on the photo page because there was one thing that interested me there.
Read moreOk, here we go and it's not Friday, but Peter at the controls anyway. I was at an event about the new SAS aircraft Airbus A320 Neo and it was not difficult to "find Nemo", I mean Neo.
