One of my favorite Beatles blogs is WogBlog, which I check daily for Beatles information. The person behind the blog is Roger, who posted this photo on facebook and was kind enough to translate it for me to post here. All I can say is that Paul is always welcomed to eat cheese sandwiches at my house if he comes to town!
Following the death of Linda, Paul McCartney made a surprise visit to Norway in February 1999. He stayed for a few days, visiting the Norwegian branch of EMI and dined with a couple of the Norwegian artists in their stable. He was residing at the Grand Hotel in Oslo, and I spent a number of hours standing outside, without getting to see him. One of the days, he wanted to go horse riding, and an EMI staff member arranged for him to borrow a horse and accompanied him to the Lørenskogen farm in Maridalen.
Inger-Lise Lørenskogen (66) remembers it well.
– A very nice, down to earth person! We had heard that he might come to visit, but it was very hush hush! Then he just showed up one day and got himself a nice ride on the horse that I used to ride at the time. He also enjoyed a couple of cheese sandwiches in my kitchen.
