Moose has always gone out on the farm in the middle of Winter with just shorts and no shirt on, and sometimes without shoes! And I always profess that he is absolutely crazy!
It just so happens that last week I found myself in the middle of a paddock in just my pyjamas! Boy, do these Norwegians rub off on you!
I think Autumn is my favourite season in Norway – the weather is still warm here in Tromsø, the sunsets come down over the mountains again and the blueberries are ripe for the picking.

There is an opposition in everything. At the darkest time of the year, we celebrate Christmas. And at the exact opposite end, when the midnight sun is at its highest, we celebrate Midsummer.
The further ‘out of the way’ you go the more common it is to see folk cottages standing by the side of roads, along fjords or in a thicket of trees, minding their own business.
Pølse is THE fast food of Norway. When the grilled pølse was first introduced to Norway in the 50s it was eaten naked – without bread.
How Norway became a country is shrouded in mystery and folklore. The most well known tale is of Harald Hårfagre who gathered the small kingdoms of the north into a unified nation in 872AD – and of course, this story is about love.

Runes were the written language of the Vikings.
Yea, I was wondering if I was the only one getting made fun of for wearing a winter coat by a Scandinavian/Yooper (from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan) transplant. LOL

Norwegians must be like seals – having a thick coating a blubber under the skin to keep them warm in the coldest of weather. If I’m cold I always know I can put my feet to warm them up – on Moose! – and he doesn’t even mind! In fact, sometimes he grunts and says ‘Bring it on!’
Cute picture!
I notice ways in which my Norwegian is rubbing off on me everyday…
