Britt-Arnhild's House in the Woods

The weather forecast gave us a great day

@brittarnhild

Late last nigh the mist slowly started to come in from the Atlantic and when we woke up this morning the world was all white. Luckily the mist left again, just as quiet as it came and we could sit out in the bright, smiling sun. The weather forecast predicted thunderstorm and some very heavy rain just after noon though, so we decided to stay at the cabin. A day of rest, what a blessing.

At some time during the day we could hear the thunder, but it never came close and not a drop of rain fell. The cabin garden is very dry, we do not have water so Terje is having quite a lot of work carrying buckets of water from the well. While I spent hours out there with my books and my knitting. I knit very slowly for the moment, with my stiff fingers, but I knit and I truly enjoy the snails I am knitting.

Do you follow my snails tails?
Yes, I know they are all in Norwegian, but google translate is an amazing tool.
I started out posting them daily on instagram, @brittarnhildsstrikkedagbok
and on the Facebook page Britt Arnhilds verden.

But now the snails have their very own blog, where I post tales daily :-)

Our cabin is situated right in the middle of Mother Earth´s Nature Hear. I always have my camera close by and can capture the precious moments.

Still a goal to be a daily blogger

@brittarnhild

I know it must be hard to believe me, but.......I still have a goal, or rather a dream, to post here on a daily basis, as I did for years and years in the beginning. But the older I get, the faster the days run by, and I never make time to do all the things I want to do.

I did make it to a swim in the icy cold Atlantic the other day though. It made my blod freeze and it made my whole body smile.

How absolutely amazing to swim with the red breasted mergansers :-)

It is summer, it is vacation and Terje and I are spending a few days at our cabin. Just the two of us. Recharging batteries. Slow living. Letting the days pass in their own speed. You know, these lazy, crazy days of summer.

Yesterday we hiked to a tiny little secret beach. We had forgotten our swim suits, bur as we had the beach to ourselves and there were no people for miles and miles, it did not matter, did it :-)

I loved the icy cold water.
And I told myself; Britt Arnhild, if you lived close to the sea, you could be a 365 days a year swimmer.......
