On Saturday, Flic and the Rebtel Hippies were spreading the Midsommar love in Hyde Park, as thousands of Swedes gathered to celebrate the solstice in typical Swedish style. Here’s her field report…
“Never to be deterred by a spot of torrential rain, the Swedes were out in force in Hyde Park this Saturday. Though feeling a little silly in our full-on hippy gear as we started to do the rounds – tentatively waving leaflets and promises of cheap calls to Sweden at everyone in sight – it soon became clear that we fitted in quite well.

Watch out for the Rebtel Hippies around Liverpool St and Canary Wharf later this week. They’ll also be making their way to Trafalgar Square on Friday afternoon for the Canada Day celebrations, so keep your eyes peeled!
