Beautiful flowers , thank you so much. We should thank you for all your fabulous posts, not just about Norway but everywhere you go. Have a good week.
Dear Blog Readers
@brittarnhild Dear blog readers. I have been out in the garden and picked flowers. Fresh flowers in November is not something we get every year here in Norway, and this bright, yellow bouquet I want to give to you. Thank you for continuing to read my blog, though I do not post every day any mo...
Wow all photos are lovely but the one a few hours before midnight is amazing.
Two nights with midnight sun........almost
@brittarnhild From my hotel window in Tromsø I could see the midnight sun........almost. Then flew south to Bodø and did a midnight hike up to Keiservarden, a mountain which got its name after Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany visited in 1889. The tale says that Kaiser Willhelm II was carried u...
I have seen ice fishing on tv but never by a blogger.. Looks so cold.
A time for every purpose under heaven
@brittarnhild As I sat there, icefishing, my only companions the snow, the frozen lake, the sun, the air, the silence, I knew that time is NOW to give Britt-Arnhild´s House in the Woods a break. Short or long? I don´t know yet. But the break will end, eventually, and the door will again open...
Hope that you have a good break, something we have to do now and again. We all deserve one/. Look forward to new and wonderful things to come. ♥

Two weeks ago
@brittarnhild Another world. Another time. We walked over to the black lava beach with our towels. I brought a book, Terje had some suduko to work on. The sun shone down on us, not too warm, but enough to meka my bones believe they were 20 again. A fishing boat came with the day´s catch. The ...
They that about the English language "Its survival and now the language most spoken around the world" and yet a huge mish mash of words from lots of places. . I would love to learn Italian , a beautiful language and I also like French . I better add Spanish too.
The Week of the Italian Language in the World
Italian Language Week The third week of October marks the sixteenth Settimana della Lingua Italiana nel Mondo (week of the Italian language in the world). The annual evento culturale internazionale (international cultural event) promotes Italian as una grande lingua di cultura classica e con...
Such a surprise even to me. What a difference to see this in a church in England .
A surprise on the way to Charleston
@brittarnhild I came out of the train and the first thing I saw was Fran smiling, waving. I smiled and waved back of course, and soon we could hug each other. Blogging friends meeting. "Have you ever heard of Berwick church?" Fran asked as we sat in her car. I hesitated, "No........I don´t thi...
A perfect and happy ending, I suppose your mum never gave it a second thought , that you would want it. Luckily it was not far away.
The Violin Player
My grandfather asked his children, "Who would like to learn a musical instrument?" As an immigrant farmer he wanted to give his children an opportunity he did not have. My mother the youngest of seven, asked to play the violin. My grandfather bought her lessons and a violin. Though she never...
Oh I do feel for places that Starbucks invade ,, why do they have to do this. Just continue to support the individual coffee shops you have ,, they need all the support they can get now ,, I would if I lived there.
I saw them in Paris , I never use them ,, why would I , when there are wonderful places to rest and have a drink. xo
Starbucks is coming to town
@brittarnhild Starbucks is coming to Trondheim. The first coffee shop will open at the airport in September, then two more will open downtown in October. I have mixed feelings. I love frappucinos and free wifi at Starbucks around the world, but I am afraid they will kill the small, individ...

Hi Britt-Arnild , I am happy to read that you slowly changed your mind about the Sagrada Familia.. I think it is one of the worlds amazing works of Art ,, I remember the time I first saw it ,, I was totally lost and even more lost when we went inside and walked up the small steps high up ,, fabulous.
Café con leche
@brittarnhild The year is 1912. Antoni Gaudí has just finished the magic house which is today known as La Pedrera, (The Stone Quarry), and before giving the key to the Milá family, he has invited me in for a cup of café con leche. Over the coffee Gaudí talks. Words create images in my mind. ...
I have never lived anywhere longer than 8 years, being a Forces child and then a Forces wife , I have been in this current house ,, 7 and half years, so this might be longer ,, we shall see. I have moved so much , so not really anywhere to call home .. Loving your trip around Trondiem :-)
Around town
@brittarnhild Walking around with a camera is like walking around with an extra eye, an eye which sees the unexpected, the hidden spots, the gems which are there somewhere. For a week now we have been walking around, my camera and I. Well, actually we have been photo walking Trondheim for ...
Hi Richard , I was in Villefranche a few weeks ago, just for a few hours, isn't it beautiful♥
Villefranche
I know you love my travel blogs and haven’t written some in a long time, so this week will features stories from the south of France. I spent four days in January visiting friends who rented an apartment in Villefranche, a small village a stones throw from Nice. I arrived on Friday at abou...
Hi Richard, letter sent the other day .. there was a link on FB about a week ago. :-)
Save Paris!
Sorry for the alarming headline but I wanted to get your attention for something very important. There are plans for building new skyscrapers that will alter the beauty and uniqueness of Paris. Paris has long resisted skyscrapers with good reason, so it can retain its spectacular architectur...
