Cyn in Norway in 1991

In case I have never mentioned it before, Meet the Beatles for Real has a facebook group.  It is pretty small, but slowly growing.   If you are a regular viewer of this blog and are ever on facebook, please join us over there!   It would be great to have you!

One person who "likes" the "Meet the Beatles for real" on facebook is Leif B. Kvisgaard.  Leif met Cynthia in Skein Norway in 1991 and shared this photo of him with Cyn on the facebook page.   He gave me permission to post it here on the blog and it has taken me half a year to get around to remembering.  Sorry Leif!

Macca 1999

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.
