Chilling on an island



Hi there,

I had a great day today. I've been spending almost a week atmy family's summer cottage based on an island two hours away from Helsinki inFinland.
 A couple of weeks agomy new single Dirty Kisses became the signature song for a new TV show called"Motorbikers World".
They also interviewed me for one episode in the show, aboutmy music and my biking interest. I had a very nice day of driving around on thebike. It will be on the Jim channel in Finland on Saturday the 21st of July.

Picked 2 l of wild berries that turned into a big pie
The same guys are also making a TV show that's all aboutboats. Since the sea and boating have been a big part of my life since I was a childthey thought it would fit well for an episode.
So today they came to the summer cottage to film me drivingaround in a boat the whole day. It was a lot of fun speeding up and down, makingcircles etc.

For me the boat has always been only for commuting back and forth to the mainland andI think it was the first time I got to "drive for fun". 






Most of my childhood summer I've always spent 2 monthsstraight on the island and most of the weekends also in the wintertime. 
It's where my roots are and the best place for a good inspiration kick or peace for the soul.  I once even brought half a studio with me togetherwith my friends to have a productive weekend of songwriting.





Unfortunately the last few years I haven't been able to behere as much as before since there's been a lot of work to do. But I still gota wonderful week left of rehearsing songs, chopping wood and swimmingbefore going back to the studio next week.

I still got three songs left to record and then it's justthe editing, mixing and mastering left. Getting there!

Rock on,


Jessica
