After consulting my wife (whos the brainy one in our family) I decided not to post the video I had shot. Instead I give you some stills from it- enjoy. #hanniballecter #silenceofthelambs

Even though the beach life is nice someone has been eating way too many grow up shrooms this past week. Glad we're back in Sweden to sort that mess out. Have a brilliant friday good people!
