Vikings, gypsies, nomads.


Miniature Tigers - Viking Hearts


My grandmother is really crazy. Really really crazy. And healthy, so she is outliving everybody and likes to make our lives interesting sometimes. She has some pretty insane folk stories about our family. Because we're dutch, it apparently "follows suit" that our ancestors must have been raped by vikings, and according to granny, this explains why everybody in our family enjoys travelling. I just assumed it was normal to have an OE.

My mum thinks that even though this idea is hardly an explanation for anything, there is a gypsy gene that descends through the family and strongly affects one member of each generation more than it does the others. There's certainly evidence to suggest so. My mum says I'm the one who got it in our family, and she thinks it explains why I want to move away forever.
