Yesterday I had the great pleasure of meeting my old friend, my best friend in life, Vidar Gundersen – for lunch. Vidar is a legend of his own in the world of customs and we have worked together and been best friends outside work the last 30 years.

Since we live 350 km a part we try to get any excuse to meet, so yesterday we drove to Halmstad haft the distande from our respective homes for a Saturday long lunch together. We had as always wonderful conversations. I always get energy, inspiration and fuel from meeting you my dear friend.
