The secret to a long and happy life?

It's maintained by some that the true secret of health, happiness, and hence a long life is, above all, the beneficial value of good sleep. (Other properties such as personal financial wealth and which country you are from are probably less important than we place value on). In the sleep department, huskies have an unrivaled sleeping ability, I really think... There must be great benefits to being able to snooze soundly for hours at a time - after all, noise and disturbance is to a minimum, once you stop fidgeting and the drifting snow is firmly in place. Warm, comfortable and quiet. That must be beneficial to your immune system and health...

Enjoy the photos! And remember what's important :)

Introducing the Alaska husky - an adaptable breed: able to sleep whenever and wherever...

...forest understory is pretty darn comfy, but decked under snow shouldn't be underrated either! ;)

A good way to live, don't you think?

My Easter

Easter in the UK is etched in my memory as camping on the Devonshire coast, cold mornings and sunny afternoons, (oh, and pub lunches, in between sandwiches gritty with sand, consumed on the beach). Flowers. Grass. Lambs in the fields. You know - that sort of thing.

On Easter Sunday this year it was quite different. Mostly alpine. Not a lot of beach around.

Mind you, it was still undeniably 't-shirt weather' and not without sunburn! (...and believe it or not, the sea is only a few kilometres down the valley)

Norwegianisms

...Skiing At Easter Time. snow or no snow.

Plan B: making a fire in the pine forest

(when the snow is noticeably absent, hence pulking is not an option...)
