Juletid in March?
Coming in on the barge to Lyngen I had to double-take – is that Nisse? He looks quite at home in the Arctic snow. I would have thought it was the juletid season if I didn’t know it was three months after Christmas. The difference between Christmas and Spring is that the sun has returned and usually Nisse is resting in the barn with the animals. I guess he doesn’t know the time with all that snow across his eyes.
