" ...though we travel the world to find the beautiful,
we must carry it with us, or we find it not "

....here you go, one and all!

Yesterday and today

The Målselv river yesterday 


...the sun "almost back" today :) 

click on this pic and you can see better the snow pluming off Istind
 (the big pointy mountain that overlooks town)

these last postings have been rather like a delayed web-cam on my location! I hope you find it interesting enough. Posting pictures is a good thing to do (... worth a thousand words, etc.)

Yesterday (18 January) at 830am

ps. The sun is scheduled to return this weekend :)

Pre-xmas "Trondheim" hut party


...the fancy dress theme was "Trondheim" (I ask you!) and the venue was a few hours in by ski.  It was a good night, needless to say, and this was my 'xmas in Norway' night out, prior to my UK departure.

Xmas














Well, a bit late, but here I was, back in the UK.  Mum's birthday in the Brecon Beacons (National Park) just prior to Christmas, with the family, a great Christmas with everyone and then... Scotland and Ben Nevis (including a bothy (hut) lunch trip with Jane and Sandy :))  Fantastic holidays.
