A lovely day in April, Mio followed me up to the little grove by our house as I went to collect the birch sap from the tapping bottles I had placed out. He was playful and silly, but kept still long enough for me to take some photos of him in between his crazy fits. […]
While I was in Surrey earlier this month, I had a day off and decided to jump on the bus and go exploring the neighbouring village of Ewhurst. Originally I planned to go to Shere, a village often used in movies, but I couldn’t figure out the buses. So I ended up half way, in Ewhurst. […]
Nearly two weeks ago, I woke up to a world covered in a thick layer of soft, fluffy white snow. It was a Friday so I had to go to work, but luckily the snow lasted through the whole weekend. So all of Saturday and Sunday was spent outside, working the horses in the pretty […]
During our week down south, we went for a little evening stroll through the woods where my boyfriend used to play when he was little. The woods down there are quite different to those I’m used to, so it was nice to explore a little. Due to the slightly warmer climate, there are types of […]
After waking up just after 6am having a coughing fit (the worst part of having a cold), I noticed that all except one of the horses were on the wrong side of the fence. No big deal, as they were still inside another fence, but they weren’t supposed to have all that grass in one […]
For others, it’s probably just a rock and some trees. For me, it once was as exciting as a chest full of treasures, with it’s green moss, fallen trees, cracks and small cavities beneath. Walking around the woods of my childhood home, I still know each rock and each tree, and I fondly remember all the hours I […]
These photos were taken an evening in April last year, when me and my boyfriend hiked up to a nearby waterfall. All my life I’ve watched it through the car window whenever we went to town, but I haven’t actually seen it up close before now. It was beautiful up there, and I loved the athmosphere in the […]
That’s Norway for you! Last Sunday was really a confusing day weather wise – sun in one minute, rain or hail the next. It was just like the sky couldn’t decide which mood it was in. Since this was the only day of the weekend I didn’t have any plans, I spent the day doing […]
Yesterday we spent the evening enjoying a small campfire in the middle of the woods that surround the farm. Just sitting there on comfy reindeer skins, watching the flames or staring up at the starfilled void above is wonderfully comforting, and definitively something we should’ve done more often.
These past few weeks the whole farmyard has been covered in slippery ice and hard snow, and I have been unable to even take the horses out of the fields, let alone go riding! Now it has started snowing again, covering the farm in a soft white layer once more. It’s beautiful to look at, […]
