I had a very strange dream last night and woke up with mixed feelings. With the dream filling my mind, I wondered what the day would be like.
Well, the late night sun is shining though our dining room window, the dream left me even before breakfast, I showered it all off. And the day has been just as beautiful as the light made by the sun.
Life is good.

Saturday. A perfect day for gardening.
We have been collecting milk cartons for some time, and today was the day to fill them with a mixture of sand and soil.
Our sand has too many pebbles, så my apprentice´s first work was to remove them.
What a great job he did.
Working together is great fun.
Soon we had the carrot seeds in the soil.
We watered.
And now we wait for fresh carrots to eat.

I love doing these videos on YouTube.
Of course they are most easy too do in Norwegian, but doingingthem in English means I reach out far beyond Norway. I love that.
Enjoy my most recent one:

For my birthday earlier this month I got a new waffle iron, one to take with me when hiking. It had been on my wish list for some time, and today was the first day to use it.
We hiked out to a place where we almost always go when we are at the cabin, a place with a fire pit everyone can use. Terje brought wood, I brought the batter and some raspberry jam. And a thermos of coffee of course.
Oh my, can you imagine a better lunch?
I did took some footage of course, which I will include in this week's episode on YouTube.

Sorting through some old photos I found this one, yes, it is me :-)

Our cabin is situated two hours by car from our home, out near the western coast of Norway. The landscape here is fantastic, close to the see, close to the mountains, with the cabin in the middle of the woods, which I love. The area is perfect for hiking, something we do a lot.
Today we decided to go to a place where we have never been before, to a mountain peek out on one if the islands. Not very high, 170 meters above sea level, but as the climb was steep, 170 meters were enough for me. I love hiking and during spring, summer and autumn I am out several times a week. Not so during winter. I used to do cross country skiing, but have not had skis on my feet this winter. I am too anxious of falling.......
As spring has slowly started to arrive the past few weeks, I have already started my hiking season, but today was the first climb. Well, very fit athletes would not call this a climb, I do! And I did it. The climb I mean.
Even though it was "only" 170 meters, the view was amazing. I took some footage, which I plan to include in next week's video in Britt Arnhild´s World on YouTube (Britt Arnhilds verden)
We had coffee up there, and then we had to do the steep climb in reverse. Climbing down is always harder than climbing up. Oh my, I had a hard time, but good for me, Terje was there, in front of me, with helping hands when I needed.
By the way, we were lucky and hiked in the sun, but if we turned around, this is what we could see (the above image).

It is the last day of April, and here in our corner of the world we are still far from any warm weather. The daffodils are blooming in the cabin garden, but here and again a snow shower passes over us. In between a cold sun is shining.
We are stubborn Norwegians though, and we do not lack warm and proper clothing. So after lunch today we went out fishing.
Well, even for us it felt icy cold. I got nothing. Terje got two sei (coalfish?) And then we gave up.
Poor Terje had to clean the fish.
Afterward he had problems putting his gloves on, his fingers were so frozen.
Now we are back in the cabin, the fire is burning, the sun is shining and we are both warm again :-)

This view.
Of course I can never have enough of it.
My parents really found the paradise spot when they bought this place back in 1975.
Winter is waving good bye, see you again in a few months.
Spring is swinging at the top of her voice, here I am, who wants to play with me;
Thank to all of you who contacts me to let me know that you keep on checking Britt Arnhild´s House in the Woods, wanting to hear from me. I am here and will do my best to update more often.
