Britt-Arnhild's House in the Woods

The last lunch of 2020

@brittarnhild

After a week of Christmas with my parents, our children and grandchildren, it was time for us to say goodbye to 2020 and welcome to 2021 just the two of us, so after breakfast this morning we headed for our beloved cabin where we will have a few quiet days.

Books, music, knitting, hiking.......and of course good food. 

We arrived just in time for lunch today, and I made rømmegrøt (sour cream porridge), and old tradition in my family, which I learned to make from my grandma Olga. The old traditional way.

 

Only one hour and fifteen minutes left of old 2020 here in Norway when I write this. It will be good to lay the steep year behind and walk into a fresh, and hopefully better 2021.

 

Daily Advent Episodes

I am sorry I have not been able to keep you updated here lately, but I am pleased to let you know that during December I have managed to post daily YouTube-videos both in Norwegian and English. You find me on YouTube as Britt Arnhilds verden.

Here is the video I posted this morning:

December 3rd. Winter hiking

@brittarnhild

Because of the corona pandemic, Terje is working from home for the moment, having his own home office up on the first floor, just across my studio. This means we can have lunch together every day, and if Terje is not too busy with meetings, I can invite him out for a lunch hike.

And I can squeeze in time for some nativity photography, haha.

 

I did some filming as well of course :-), which resulted in this advent episode for December 3rd:

 

 

December 2nd. Christmas balls
