Beloved reader,
You might have already noticed that I’m back from my voyage to Cambridge and London.
During my time in England, I
i) got invited to chase the ghost of the most haunted house in London (50 Berkeley Square – pictures will follow),
ii) got locked up in Kensal Green Cemetery for 20 minutes,
iii) made it into Ronnie Scott’s,
iv) spotted a punk hamster in Camden Town, and…
v) walked into Sotheby‘s at New Bond Street with muddy Doc Martens, a bleeding knee and a torn “L’art est inutile” shirt.
After long introspection, I came to the conclusion that England is as mental as ever.
So yes, I suppose I had a great time – even though my embalmed armadillo had to stay at home due to the strict British quarantine rules for zombie pets. *sobs*
Anyway, I’m really looking forward to some quieter time in Eastern Europe now. Tomorrow, I’ll be off to Budapest and Vienna with my brother and Gabor (here I come again, SzoborPark!).
But for now, dear reader, please steal your little sister’s doll’s house, turn all the lights off, lean back and enjoy Issue 4 of Notes From the Haunted Doll’s House.
Viszontlátásra!

Last year, I was at the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden and there was a collection of anatomy dolls from the 16th century and forward… so haunting and so beautiful at the same time…: )

Why, hello there, Gábor-The-Other-One!
I’m glad you’re enjoying this blog and I hope my Hungarian wasn’t too appalling.
And yes, I’ll definitely come back to Hungary. I spent two of my best holidays there. x
