Satanan

Perkele!
as my old Finnish workmate in the sawmill used to say.
I found this almost perfectly incredible story while spending a happy sunday blog-rolling. It came through Teresa Hayden Nielsen, who I used to see around the Well. It is, to all appearances, quite true, and charming. In fact it’s everything that globalisation ought to mean, and the most romantic story since the Albanian crown was offered to Aubrey Herbert in 1922.
