It just keeps getting more and more exciting for Hello Hygge… this morning I was invited to appear live on TV 2’s God Morgen Norge (Good Morning Norway) to talk about hygge in Britain! You can watch the recording here (my part starts at around 3.45, but of course if you speak Norwegian it’s worth watching…
Tag: interview
Come inside with [hoo-gah] and win a Scandi throw
I’m calling it: summer’s over. The Olympics are over (see you in four years, diving) and all my summer dresses are being banished to the back of my wardrobe. Hello drizzle, hello wool and hello pumpkins. I’m super excited to bring to you some hygge homeware inspiration from Jack Watson, the owner of new Scandi…
Etiquette: The dying art of good manners?
“Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot.” These were the words of Clarence Thomas, an American Supreme Court Judge. This quote, of course, extols the virtues of etiquette, seen by many as a dying art. But why exactly do people have so little regard for having good manners these days? Few schools…
A teenager’s conversion to Christianity: An interview with Leon Ronan
Brighton is often described as ‘the UK’s most godless city’. With more Brightonians than ever choosing not to commit themselves to a religion in the census, with a particular prevalence of non-religious young people, it was somewhat surprising to find out that 18-year old Leon Ronan recently converted to Christianity. “I was always an agnostic,”…
Back in busy-ness
Hello! I know, I know, more appalling blogger behaviour on my part… though in my defence, I have been blogging, just over at Bete It! In the way of journalism, I’m starting to get some more things set up. Tomorrow I am interviewing the founder of the new, and insanely cool, Peruvian restaurant Ceviche for Flux…
Lucy Setters: An interview with a psychic
Are you one of the 20% of the population classed as a ‘sensitive’, or in other words, someone with a developed level of psychic ability? Lucy Setters, a tarot card reader and psychic from Brighton, is one of the 20% who has honed her psychic powers to connect with the spirit world. Lucy believes that…
Flashes of inspiration aplenty
Hello! I’m sure you’ll all be thrilled to hear that after a couple of weeks utterly devoid of inspiration, I have, at long last, broken through the wall that is writer’s block, and I now have ideas! I’ve set about chasing up people for a grilling, and I have some ideas for more features to…
Va Va Voom: A Beginner’s Guide to Sports Car Racing
Alright, I confess. Prior to this interview, I knew quite literally not one thing about sports car racing. Apart from, perhaps, that sports cars are similar to normal cars, except they are constructed a bit differently to allow for optimal racing prowess. So, in a sense, speaking to Simon Clark was an exercise in education,…
An interview with Sophia Danielsson-Waters: Around the world in not-80 days
It’s one of those things a lot of people give as a response to the age-old question, ‘What would you do if you won the lottery?’ It usually comes just after ‘I’d buy a mansion with tennis courts and its own zoo on my own private island’ and just before ‘I’ve kind of always wanted…
