I've realised that a lot of stuff I listened to as a teenager manifests itself in my current songwriting and producing; The Smashing Pumpkins and Swedish indie pop bands such as Bob Hund and The Bear Quartet Artists that influence me now are people like Angel Olsen And then there are bands and songwriters that I listen to endlessly who inspire me loads even if my own music doesn't sound anything like them - Deerhoof and Owen Pallett to mention a couple You went on a personal and musical journey of discovery before you made the EP - leaving your native Stockholm to live in Paris before relocating to London How did that journey come about and what did you gain from that experience? I really wanted to learn French it felt like it was my mother tongue even though I didn't understand a thing I had never even been to Paris before moving there but I hated Stockholm so much that I just couldn't wait to get the hell out sometimes by myself as most of my new friends were more into fashion than music I wrote a lot of songs during that time and started doing my first solo performances but after a while I was fed up with the harsh Parisian reality of being catcalled every day of the week and working for minimum wage at American Apparel So I moved back to Sweden but tried Gothenburg this time safe and cosy in comparison and my liver got a well needed respite I kept writing songs but it felt like they outgrew me somehow Me and my guitar were no longer enough to do them justice and I desperately longed to form a band But I had to leave for London before finally making that happen I think suddenly being surrounded by so many creatives all going about doing their thing and being unapologetic about it was crucial inspiration to me at that point It made it seem so natural and easy to do whatever I wanted and identify as an artist in a way I hadn't before Collaborations came about seemingly effortlessly with genuinely enthusiastic and kind musicians that I just sort of stumbled upon Even if everyone works ALL of the time in London they're all up for actually doing stuff - joining bands, recording EP's in their bedroom when and if I could do all the things I've always wanted to as a musician - I just went ahead and did it. practical furniture fills its pages—nary a $2,000 pendant light in sight our 10 favorite pieces from Swedish heaven Like something your chic Danish friend would have on hand for dinner parties—but only $1.99 a piece it works well as a nightstand or occasional table in your living room that green shade is perfectly Scandinavian When that white planter on the back is filled with your favorite vines this bench turns into a very cool alternative to a “living wall.” this $5.99 candlestick would look right at home on any mantle Hillary writes about interiors, real estate, arts, and culture.

The older one gets the quicker the years seem to hurtle by and from one Christmas to another passes in the blink of an eye Presently I am minded of the American humorist Will Rogers’ famous line: “I don’t make jokes – I just watch the Government and report the facts…” Of course throughout history – no matter how bad current affairs and what used to be debated so earnestly through the 1940s ’50s and ’60s as “the International situation” might appear to be - true enthusiasts have always turned to more congenial motoring activities “to get away from it all” Goodwood early star George Abecassis with his ERA at Lake Vallentuna Over the long years the vast majority of Goodwood Motor Circuit habitués have most certainly displayed this mindset A cheery attitude of “Stuff ’em all – let’s just go racing” would see many of Formula 1’s finest practitioners find alternative earning opportunities way south to spend the Antipodean summer months in New Zealand and Australia – contesting the loose-knit Tasman series and later Tasman Championship ‘down under’ Some years saw the South African Grand Prix run at New Year after a lead-up Springbok series of Formula 1-cum-Libre races saw the Formula 1 circus perhaps spending Christmas there before the southerly migration to Tasman competition And of course the greatest northern-hemisphere event of the winter months would be January’s Monte Carlo Rally – which through the 1940s-1970s was very much a pinnacle event which attracted enormous mass media attention In those days it was a multi-starting point mass-motoring epic in which many of the wider sport’s true circuit-racing stars would guest-drive alongside established rally aces It was a true challenge to cars as diverse as Austin A105 Westminsters Porsches and of course the immortal Abingdon BMC Comps Department’s ‘Big Healeys’ and Mini-Coopers Even Ferraris have competed in the snow and ice… Intrepid competitior on the Monte Carlo Rally - Donald Healey of Healey Motor Company and Austin-Healey fame drove Invicta cars to victory in 1931 Stirling Moss actually finished second – by just 4 seconds – in the 1952 ‘Monte’ in a Sunbeam Alpine which he shared with John A Cooper – who was not the car constructor but instead contemporary Sports Editor of ‘The Autocar’ – and Desmond Scannell secretary of the British Racing Drivers’ Club John and Des the liaison routes in between pretty good at knocking up sandwiches and brewing tea and coffee from his vantage point on the well-laden Sunbeam’s back seat Motoring to Monte Carlo through the annual blizzards and snow-drifts of Western Europe was always an exciting adventure Moss wasn’t the only road racer who enjoyed the freezing fun while also getting paid for pursuing it – “Fifty quid old boy – not to be sniffed at!” Graham Hill ten years later co-drove a Sunbeam Rapier with his pal Peter Jopp Ferrari in the mountains - in snow and ice - “perfect" said the optimist. This experimental Ferrari 275GTB tackled the event in 1966...

George Abecassis racing to third place in the 1947 Swedish Winter Grand Prix In the days before the ‘winter sun’ of the Springbok and Tasman series’ of the 1950s-’60s, hardier European racing types rugged up and headed north to get their off-season fix. The Swedish Winter Grand Prix of February 1947 saw three intrepid Brits cope with minus 24C for almost an hour in the open cockpits of their ERA voiturette single-seaters. Reg Parnell, the winner at the wheel of R1A, George Abecassis and Leslie Brooke should have been joined by the likes of Raymond Sommer and Louis Chiron – but their Maserati and Talbot were still on a ship trapped by ice outside Gothenburg. So another race was organised for a fortnight’s time. The first had been run on a 2.17-mile circuit of hard-packed gravel, dirt, snow and ice at Römmehed airforce base. This second was to be held on a frozen lake near Vallentuna, north of Stockholm. It had dipped to minus 30 by now, but those glutton-for-punishment Brits were back, their ERAs fitted with hillclimb-type twinned rear wheels. No fewer than 30,000 spectators braved the cold, too. A 3.1-mile circuit had been created by sweeping away the covering of snow and then rolling hot gravel into the ice. The resultant surface was said to surprisingly grippy. Sommer led the early stages but slid off, unhelpfully packing his 4CL’s engine bay with snow, and so it was left to Parnell, dressed like Bomber Command crew, to score another win, averaging 67mph for more than 69 chilly minutes. Competitive driving on ice in Sweden dated back to a 1906 reliability trial from Gothenburg to Stockholm. In 1931, befitting new GP status, it was decided to adopt a circuit format – albeit a circuit like no other. Almost 30 miles in length, it wove through forests on narrow roads, crossed wooden bridges and swept across two frozen lakes. A 40-minute lap did not make for the most compelling viewing and so cars had to tackle a 1.2-mile circuit at the start/finish on Lake Rämen – the original spectator stage? – before heading into the even wilder wilds. A section of the winding Lake Rämen circuit in 1932 German ace Rudolf Caracciola was the star attraction – the crowd was estimated at 40,000 – but his Mercedes-Benz SSK on problematic snow chains was no match for the few locals who were using and were used to studded tyres. Karl ‘Kalle’ Ebb, a former Olympic middle-distance runner from Turku, Finland – he finished fifth in the 3000m Steeplechase in Paris 1924 – won the 240-mile event in a stripped 4.9-litre Auburn special. He did so by almost 13 minutes despite having become stuck for a time. Swede Per Viktor Widengren, the race’s fastest in a Mercedes-Benz SSK, had no choice but to help his rival, for the road was blocked entirely. The grateful Ebb waved his rescuer into the lead, only for Widengren to retire before half-distance because of a broken gearbox caused by an accident. Karl Ebb and his Mercedes-Benz SSK at the Rämen circuit in 1936 The 1932 edition was spoiled by warmish weather that caused the circuit to be strewn with puddles and become very rutted. Studs were beneficial still, but these conditions were not kind to them. The surprise winner was Swede Sven-Olof ‘Olle’ Bennström, whose Ford special ran non-stop on tyres it had used since practice. Ebb and Widengren, both now driving SSKs, had started as joint favourites. The former led but retired early because of a split fuel tank while the latter finished fourth after a stop to fix a leaking fuel cap and fit new spark plugs. Widengren, whose family’s successful textile and clothing businesses in Vingåker, west of Stockholm, had enabled him to buy an Alfa Romeo 8C ‘Monza’, got the nod on this occasion. Ebb, delayed initially by supercharger and transmission bothers, was catching the leader when he crashed when taking a drink of sugar water while on the move. He was knocked unconscious in the incident. There was a Swedish Summer GP that year, too, won by Antonio Brivio in a Scuderia Ferrari-run 8C Monza. (The start money and prize fund must have been good for Enzo to send a car). The Swedish Winter Grand Prix, held at Ramen, is the big motoring event of the year in Scandinavia, and every year is becoming more popular both with competitors and spectators… Sadly the event was marred by a pile-up that claimed the life of a riding mechanic – and burned down a house! – and racing’s popularity in Sweden dipped as a result. Its Winter GP at Rämen would not be revived until 1936. Widengren missed the start due to illness and Norwegian car dealer/scrap merchant Eugen Bjørnstad – the no-nonsense racer disqualified from second place in 1933 for allegedly unfairly hampering an opponent – won. His ex-works 8C Monza, converted to monoposto configuration and wearing twinned rear wheels, finished almost six minutes ahead of Ebb, still loyal to his SSK. Bjørnstad would that year complete a Scandinavian hat trick by winning the Norwegian GP, held on frozen Lake Gjersjøen, and the Finnish GP, held in a park in Helsinki in balmy May. In a bid to spread his wings – and perhaps catch a few warming rays! – for 1937 Bjørnstad bought ERA R1A and contested voiturette races in Turin and Naples, and at AVUS in Berlin. It is said that he drove it as though he were still on ice – a spectacular style that resulted in victory in Turin, ahead of the works Maserati 6CM of René Dreyfus, and a third place in Naples. Clearly Bjørnstad was handy – but he had to call it a day after the long journey to New York to drive the uncompetitive Monza in that July’s Vanderbilt Cup resulted in a failed transmission rather than the prize money needed to save his failing business. His perennial Scando rivals had also called it a day: Widengren, married with a growing family, retired after 1936; and Ebb stopped at the end of 1937. Bjornstad sold his Alfa to Swedish engineer Tore Berg, who used it to win ice races in 1940. Twenty years later the car was rescued from being converted into an out-and-out ice racer. The Trophée Andros is as much a part of European winter sport as après-ski - and there is no sign of its appeal diminishing “Alain Prost couldn’t slide in Formula… It’s difficult in our day and age of seven-figure values to get one’s head around the fact that such machinery would be treated so. When Curt Lincoln, a former Finnish Davis Cup tennis player turned racing driver, ordered a Jaguar D-type from the factory, he asked that it be ‘roughed up’ so that he might avoid paying his country’s heavy import duty on new cars. This was good preparation, too, as it turned out. When chassis XKD530 returned to the UK in the mid-1960s, its bodywork was said to be barely recognisable so cut-and-shut had it been, mainly for ice racing purposes. Hot-blooded racers, with ice in their veins, doing whatever it takes, whatever the weather. McLaren stole the show at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix with a dominant 1-2 finish that left rivals trembling.

P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }Forty years ago this month, a group of teenaged Belleville hockey players experienced their first — and, for most, their only — taste of international shinny. On New Year's Day in 1976, the Jim's Pizza AAA Juveniles hosted a similar age-group team from Vallentuna, Sweden. The locals prevailed, 6-5, when, according to the story that appeared in the next day's Intelligencer, “Gord Male finished off a three-way move with Roger Chapman and Ray Skelly to snap a 5-5 tie. “A large, noisy crowd at Memorial Arena enjoyed the fast, hard-hitting match as both teams pulled out all the stops and gave it everything they had.” This reporter was a member of that Jim's Pizza team, albeit mostly a bench-warmer, and 40 years ago this month we did indeed play in front of our largest crowd of the season — more than 1,000, we were told — at Belleville's downtown hockey shrine. Our club was on its way to an all-Ontario title; we'd go on to sweep the Burlington Mohawks 4-0 in the best-of-seven OMHA AAA championship series that spring. But our game versus the touring Swedes was definitely a highlight of the season, at a time when international hockey was becoming extremely popular in Canada, sparked by the unforgettable 1972 Summit Series. Our Jim's Pizza team had strung together an impressive win streak leading up to the international match, and we were getting lots of coverage in The Intelligencer sports section, thanks mainly to the late, great Tom Gavey — then an Intell stringer — who had taken it upon himself to make us part of his unofficial beat. (The fact that Tommy got paid by the story, may have offered a better explanation.) In fact, word got out on New Year's Eve that The Intelligencer would print a game summary following the Jim's vs. Sweden contest, just like they regularly did for the Jr. B Bobcats and Sr. A Quintes. That was cool stuff, 40 years ago. I was a so-called 'utility player' with the Jimmy's squad, seeing occasional action on both defence and forward. But prior to the game, our coach, Keith Kaine, told us in order for everybody to get some ice time in our first-ever international game, in front of family and friends, he was creating a fourth line: “Kenny Lynch between Mike Willman and Svoboda,” he barked. As we dressed for the game, I told Willman it was guaranteed my name would appear in the game summary The Intelligencer would print the next day. Guaranteed. True, I wasn't exactly lighting it up. The possibility of me scoring, or even earning an assist, especially on fourth-line duty, was improbable. We led late in the first period, 3-1, on goals by Brian Hamilton, Marty Lowry and Ray Skelly. The fourth line had yet to see the ice. Then, with less than a minute to go before the buzzer, Kaine threw us on. The puck skittered into the left-wing corner of the Swedish zone — my wing — and I barrelled in to make contact with a Vallentuna defenceman. Elbows high. We went to the dressing room with that 3-1 lead, but the resilient Swedes battled back to tie the tilt in the middle period before Ross McLeod restored a one-goal Jim's advantage before the second intermission. Vallentuna tied it again halfway through the final frame, then Skelly notched his second goal of the game to put us ahead by one with five minutes to go. The opportunistic Swedes drew even one last time, however, getting a lucky bounce off one of our own guys, setting the stage for Male's game-winning heroics — with 26 seconds left on the clock. After the game, we were treated to a roast beef dinner with our visitors, put on by the city and including a speech from the late Ben Corke, who was mayor. The next morning, The Intelligencer appeared in our mailbox on PE County Road 28. And there it was, as promised, below the game story — a summary. And, yes, my name appeared.
