Our friends have long dreamt about a country
house - in the forest. The neighbours call it "The Manson". No photo
shows how to the point that name is.
The landowner is outside the basement in the righthand
picture. A few of about ten lamps are shown in the lefthand photo.
We and our friends arrived a Friday afternoon in sunshine.
Spring
is definitively here in eastern Norway.
A hard workweek forced us early in bed. We even got out of bed
late on Saturday! And still got a sunny and hot day.

The forest road had just defrosted and did not like a tiny, cute WV
Caravelle at all.
Two streams had some fun in the wheel tracks, and gave the
male part of the company an excuse to use some force and heavy tools
and
to beat up the surface of our earth.
The skiing conditions had left for summer holiday and robust
footwear was needed. We were in need for reasonable provisions like
chocolate, salty nuts and fruit, pity that. Some photos from our walks
are shown down under and here.
