Save the Scandinavian Church in Liverpool
Tell us about yourself.
My name is Gustav Adolf and I'm 125 years old this November. I've lived at 138 Park Lane all this time, and on the whole I've been very happy there. But you know, suddenly people start threatening to kill me, and let me tell you; I don't much care for that. Plenty of life left in me still. This Swedish witch helps me with the blog. She's quite daft, actually, but I put up with her. Some of her friends have also written here, and I think she said that even more of them are planning interesting blog posts. I was named after an old King. He was dead long before I was born. These days people from all five Nordic countries come to me. They all have some weird, but interesting, habits and traditions, which they practise inside me. Singing, eating, dancing. All sorts. It's nearly time for that girl with fire in her hair to sing on the stairs again. I like that. Especially the little ones who put battery candles in their mouths. I think all Nordic creatures must be naturally daft.
What is your blog about?
My blog is all about survival. And a little bit about entertaining people. I understand that blogging is THE thing to do these days, so my friends who all love me and need me, came up with this blogging malarkey. The 'bosses' in Uppsala (that's in Sweden, you know) want to close me down. They seem to think that a new church in Thailand would be nice. I'm sure it will, but over my dead body... (Hmm, maybe that wasn't a good thing to say.)
What's the most interesting thing which has happened as a result of the blog? Have you learnt anything?
Well, there have been radio programmes about me. Phone-ins and such like. Mind you, that was pre-blog. It's just good that my friends all get together and work so hard to help me.
What do you like most about Liverpool?
Lovely place. I've been very happy here in Park Lane. Except for when that enormous crane almost fell on top of me in the summer. Got a little scared then. I like being close to the water. Love water. Yellow submarines, and stuff.
What other Liverpool blogs do you read?
I'm a church. I don't read an awful lot, actually. Sorry. I'm sure it'd be interesting.
