Discovering the neighborhood

Wow, that was a weekend! Mentioning that it is almost the end of November now and that we are in Norway, it was a happy surprise for us seeing the sun again Saturday morning. For the last two weeks it has been predominately raining and it felt like the darkness would not really unhand the daylight. It had not been very cold until Saturday: Maybe 5 degrees minimum. So the weekend had this eccentric combination of freezing cold and and clear blue sky. The ground was frozen and everything was shining in the sunlight. What to do with this beautiful weather? 

Well, on Saturday there was not really much to enjoy, because two of us were working at Folken for a concert and Cristina had to watch the football match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, of course. But before that it was at least sunny enough for a run around Hådansvatnet. But on Sunday we decided to show Cristina around in our neighborhood. She had neither seen the lake nor the Kvernevik rocks yet, so we chose the Kvernevik coastline for Sunday. We started at noon and just had to walk 15 minutes until we came to the sea. It was beautiful! And our Spanish girl really enjoyed the frozen puddles. Dancing on the ice, singing on the ice, dipping our hands into the surprisingly warm ocean and enjoying a marvelous sunset - such a wonderful small weekend trip for such a wonderful small family. We cannot wait to tell Vincent about that when he comes back, but he will probably have some nice stories to tell, too. 

So now it is Monday, it's raining again, the sky stays grey and we are all missing the sunlight already. But hopefully it will not be a tough week and there is tons of fun ahead next weekend :)

Ha det!
