Istanbul in October 2011!

When Mum became 70 this winter, we celebrated with various dinners and parties.

This autumn we went to Istanbul, a party of 10 people.

The trip was abolutely fabolous from day 1 to day 5. Pictures from the roof, Sultan Ahmed Mosque, bazaars, Hagia Sophia... Read more.

At The Mansion

We had a lovely weekend, with friends, hikes and lots of life.

We'll be back - with better and sharper knifes.

The place of my dreams
All our spare time is spent in the village Akkarvik, northern Norway. Here we enjoy life, walk, bike and cook lots of food. I have made a website for Akkarvik (Norwegian only). We spend so much time here, that we just had to live here the whole school year 2006/2007. More about how we, from densely populated Kolbotn in southern Norway, managed to live in an almost depopulated village up north, you find in the letters from our year in Akkarvik.
