Autumn in Southern Norway

Fall report from Norway
This last week: Raining and raining and raining
This Friday - 20 minutes without rain.
We went shopping.

On the Road between our summerhome - 12 minutes or so, it's lots of nature and history.
Believe it or not, what you here see is a dam - a pound - from which Ice was exported to Denmark, Holland and UK. An industry that lasted for some hundreds years. Before the modern fridges. Hundreds lost their jobs. Time changes. Even bloggers.

This is what we see, when we drive to the nearest "Shopping Mall". It's Autumn. Silence. Colours. Change.

I did think you might be interested to see what the nature looks like, in this season here at 60 degrees North. Southward view. 8 minutes from our Summer Home.

Sunday on the Platform

It's hard to believe, Sunday a week ago:

Look who were here at our Summerhouse platform - Marjolein - Mrs Lifecruiser - RennyBA - Mr Lifecruiser - Anna (behind unseen: Wim) and DianeCA

We had a good conversation the day after 3x20

And could still smile and laugh like Diane - and Wim had a Cigar. And Papa? He took the Photos.

Farewell to our dear friends from Holland and Diane and the Driver (RennyBA of course)

What then to do but exploring the Norwegian Jungle - Mrs and Mr Lifecruiser on a new expedition into the unknown

... and relaxed and enjoyed the Sunshine after a rough time into Norwegian wilderness. LOL.

A week have passed. We have lot's of exciting memories given from Anna's precious and wonderful guests. We will allways remember.

Papa, Cats, Friends and Secrets - a midsummer walk around

VERY PRIVATE - AND FAR FROM NORMAL POSTING. ANNA WILL RETURN WEDNESDAY LATE EVENING . We have missed you;))


Papa's World Peacock -haha


It's so easy. Just have a Cellphone call with Ingelin in Hong Kong (Midnight in HK - 6 pm here in Norway)), having and SMS from Niklas when now in Denmark on Vacation wirh Seb, calling my cousin in T B and planning wirh my 3rd cousin in CA and my son in MI to plan for firts weeks of August. Then also planning for - noooo, it cany be true: Ruben. His Graveyard Stone. Papa, be brave, can you please.

Happy Days. Anna in Hong Kong with hommes de la France . I think: what a tremedous time Annea had.' Not to speak about the men - hahaAm I jeaulouse - not at all - why? It's all about respect. And indivuals that do not accept respect - well their way of "doing it" it means and result in killing for what they do not like to hear or respect.

I took this photo Tuesday Morinng. To show you it's a good idea to walk for 12 minutes instead of driving for 5 minutes (takes times to the garages ---?)

Fvirst - If you want to see Rosa on this Weeks Cats on Tuesday (only one photo) then click here - very charming I must say.
Papa, hehe, he is still confused. Why? Nobody - no person dare do use this wonderful placeto sitn down and haha - live.

My good old friend Walter, knocked on my door, bringing his daughter and her man, to our tiny Summer Home. That was wonderful and pleasent surprise. Walter, the youngster to the right - well - born 1935. Now - pro photographer.Let me be serious - at least that's what - haha - I will tell and show you.

This is what I have to see, during my 15 minutes walk from our Winterhome to my official Office. Montana?
It's in Oslo

e can take a look in our Garden.



See what I have to pass
Blåklokker- Bluebells -so charming

Did had I do not want to show you: My Cellphone Bill - Calling H K and MI and CA etc-- n

Regatta in Oslofjord - Friday, June 13 - 2008

The most popular Regatta in the Nordic Countries started just after the WW II. With a few boats in an overnight regatta from Oslo (Capital of Norway) to the the beginning of the fiord at the Faerder Light House and returning back to Oslo. A distantance of 2x100 km ( about 130 miles all in all). To Day, it's some miles shorter, in order to let all kinds of sailboats (no use of "motors" alowed") to be able to compete and participate. No matter of professionalisme in the skill of sailing

This year it was about 1200 boats in the race.

On our way back to our Summerhome, I did take some photos, not with my best Camera, but I hope you will have a clue. (This from the inner Oslofjord)

OK, then - it's enlarged here (You'll also see the Hills North of downtown Oslo in the Background)

Even more here. U Z? Can you count how many? They all have to sail during the Night.

Here they are - some of the boats - in the midle of inner Oslofjord- Allready a distance between the best in their class and the leisure sailors

Click to enlarge. It's hundreds heading south out of the fiord

Have a great weekend. Respect and love all your dearest incl cyberfriends.

Again thanks for all kind comments, private letters etc regarding our loss.

hugs to all of you

PS. I still have problems to comment and visit you all. Excuse me for that fact. I'm coming back. Believe me.

Contrasts .- May 17 - National Day Norway

Hello,
my dear reader

The Month of May gives us great contrasts here in Norway, when talking about Climate. From South to North.
The Sun has taken over more or less the whole 24 hours of Night and Day. But, we do not know the weather. Our Constitunional Day is at May 17. Which means we all can remember from year to year. What clothing to wear and what's not to wear.
Last year it was a very Sunny Day (Oslo) with a good temperature around 22-25 C ( 72-77F) here in the Oslo area. This year, we do expect snow in the hills only 200 meters above sea level (630 feet) -

Cold wind from the North came in this (Friday) afternoon.

Here you can see 2 pics, which proofs that fact. Remark the "artificial sky" - which allways tells:
Weather change. Yeah. We feel it. And our fireplace have been in use since early this afternoon.

View Southwards

View to the Islands Eastwards - both Photos taken just minutes after our arrival back from Work. Ten minutes later, heavy Rain. We stayed indoor. Just now, when I do post this, it's not raining, but it's more to come. In one way, that's positive for the garden. But when it's close to freezing point: No-No-No
- We have brought our herbs and flowers indoor.

Last years Norwegian National Day

PS. Please go and visit our one and only Mrs Lifecruiser on May 17. Why? Simply because Mr Lifecruiser do have his Birthday - on the Norwegian National Day.

((we did call him 2 minutes after midnight - lol)

From Spring to Summer - in one Week

When I was young, I do (think to) remember the Spring lasted for a month or two.
The last years it just arrived. The Spring. And before I have felt this beautiful Season when the Snow did melting, the Spring Creeks, the Bird songs, the Flowers that did come to sight through the Snow , it's gone. In one Weeek. It's Summer. In one Week;D.

Last weeks view up the Hills from our platform upwards the rocksThis weeks view. See the changes?

Tulips. The Deers did not find them. But the other morning we allmost hit them (Two Deers) at the Road early in the Morning. Beautiful animals.

We have been busy. New Flowers. And Herbs.

Our Cats are mating. Mieooooww. Yes, you know the "singing". Here is Felicia's fav
Have a great Week to come. We will be back to work on Tuesday.
