Sparking about

Well, the snow finally arrived, and everyone had a big smile on their face, temporarily... Temporarily, I say, as Zeus decided otherwise... Norwegians had evidently had had it enough good, he must have pondered. Rain, high winds and mild weather generally has followed suite.


So, out with the Norwegian SPARK. This helpful device is as Norwegian as they come: an ingenious tool to help 'get about on sheet ice streets'. It's the equivalent of trawling a shopping trolley behind you, I guess. Except that you push it in front and kids are - shall we say - keen on it (especially when someone else is pushing!).

So, whilst we negotiate the icey streets of Tromsø for a while yet, here's hoping the snow comes back again soon!

...and so, Zeus, can we have this weather back please??
