The snow has returned.

Today some snow returned and after blustery showers in the morning, a sunny crisp winter day was revealed- it was beautiful. We decided to test drive the new pram and went for a long walk around part of the island. The scenery was great and Grier seemed to enjoy spending so long out in the fresh air. She spent most of the trip fast asleep all cosied up in her sheepskin rug. The pram passed the test drive with flying colours, covering all sort of snowy terrain with ease. After a visit to the woolshop and grocers, we returned home for some well earned tea and lunch. The snow seems to bring out the best in norwegians as they all venture out to enjoy walking, dog walking, cross country ski-ing, sparking and even power sliding in their cars!

Lots of snowfall.

Hi everyone. We've set up this blog to keep you updated with our goings-on in Norway. As you know the baby will come soon and because it's difficult to just pop round, we'll try and keep the site updated with pictures of the little one. Anyway, we're both doing really well and have just finished painting the nursery. It still feels as if something is missing, we guess the baby will fill that void any time soon. Craig has just come off night shift and is a little tired and Ruth-Cheryl is also tired having to carry around a "2 - stone football" all day. RC was at the midwife today for some acupuncture - supposedly it helps to "ripen the cervix" and gives a greater chance of the baby arriving on time. The snow came last weekend (around half a metre in one day) and although there has been a thaw of late, everything remains white. Craig was out running this evening and slipped a couple of times but otherwise, his ankles are in one piece.
