A visitor in the fall.

While it has been quiet on the blog it has not been quiet at Ådnanes. We have had a visitor last week! My sister Joelle has been our guest for a week, and we have had fun. While the week started with some days of torrential rains, it became beautiful weather later and we could even take a canoetrip. I won`t try to summarize the week, but here are some pictures of fun things that happened:

Elisabeth organized a little tasting of 4 different types of "christmas-soda" (Julebrus) that stored start selling here around christmas. Now we know which of these we think is best, and what will be in the house this christmas.

We had to gather some wood for our ongoing Travelling Gnome Project. We carved 50 gnomes this week, while listening to our favourite old recordings of the dutch "Bert en Ernie" that never stop being entertaining, no matter how old we get. 

We spent a night decorating advent-decorations. A serious task.

On a morning where the rain seemed to have given up for the day we took a small hike to a local mountain that goes by the name of "grimsfjellet". We took our signature selfie, and set out on a beautiful and wet walk.

documenting what time we reached the top.

On one day the weather was so calm and beautiful we took out the canoe. We paddled around the local fjord with all its stunning little islands for a good two hours. It was cold in the air, but the sun was bright and warm. Wonderful conditions for an adventure.

Home sweet Home

A frosty morning walk where we found fresh mink-tracks on a bridge.

Joelle trying out woodturning for the first time. Fun with some craft from time to time :)
