Usually Marta brings a friend for our cabin days. This time there were no one to bring, and while I was in London I got an sms "Mamma, I will be alone at the cabin. It will be so boring!"
Boring is actually an unknown word at the cabin, and so it is also this time. Every minute from daybreak till night is filled with activities. Knitting with mamma, having fun with maths with pappa. Playing cards with mamma and pappa, playing out in the snow alone. reading, dancing, singing. Marta is smiling, singing and dancing all day. All by herself.
Every child should have the opportunity to live with nature, without televisions and computers, even without friends around for a few days. It is food for the soul in our busy world.

Note: it is a challenge to be able to blog every day during our no-electricity cabin days. Yesterday we drove south to the small town of Kristiansund, 50 kilometers to drive and a 20 minutes ferry ride. Torgeir is working in Kristiansund during the month of February, and we visited him. I managed to blog during the ferry ride, with Marta hanging over me wanting to use my computer to msn her friends :-)
