Now I’m the kind of girl that
would rather travel, dead broke in first class than hard up in second! So with
this in mind my aunt Joyful and I recently embarked on a luxury cruise liner to
Norway!
Naturally we had taken a suite on
the bridge (one personal butler, and two cabin stewards) and so on a fine sunny
morning we bid farewell to the white cliffs of Dover and set sail for the land
of clean water, clear skies, and fresh air!
The reason that Norway is so
refreshing and breathtakingly beautiful is because the Norwegians are such
climate sensitive people. They may appear to be all anoracks and walking boots,
but being green, recycling, preserving water and reducing their carbon
footprint is so long embedded in their culture it’s just part of their everyday
life.
Being a high maintenance kind of girl myself I found all
this a little daunting, but having seen the cascading waterfalls, and skies so
clear you would think the stars would fall down into the sea, I decided right
there and then that I was going to start to do my bit to save the planet!
I started first thing the following morning, and for my trip
on the Flam railway (one of the most scenic train routes in Europe) I chose to
wear my “Act Fast, Slow Climate Change” Vivienne Westwood scarf, new out this
season!
As i suspected it did the trick and I proved very popular with the Locals,
who seemed very impressed with my alternative to the bobble hat! After tea and
waffles and much conversation about how good Vivienne is to remind us of the
important things in life, even if the message is printed on a £240. Scarf!
Feeling very pleased with my first day’s efforts at saving
the planet, I returned to my luxury suite, only to find that in my absence I
had left a tap running! “Oops silly me! Must try harder next time!
On my return journey I started reading Vivienne Westwood’s
‘one hundred days of active resistance’ check out day 68 and see how Iceland is
getting on! My Vivienne scarf won’t save the planet, but at least it reminds us
that we can!
Log on in a few days, when I will reveal my smutty holiday
secret!
Ciao Bella Sorellas
