warm & cosy

I packed away all the Christmas decorations but was not ready to let go of the fairy lights just yet...they look so nice and twinkly in our fireplace.

Snow free zone

Im tired of looking at snow (be it on photographs or out of my window)
Today the sun popped out for just a few minutes before hiding away again.
Im counting down the days until Spring.....

Oslo

I've never been a fan of Oslo, cant put my finger on it but I just never really liked the feel of the city.....but this time I loved it! Maybe its because I was looking at it through different eyes this time, we are thinking more and more about moving to Norway for a few years..... Who knows....

Nærsnes

How lucky that we get to visit my in laws at least 4 times per year, they really do live in the most amazing little spot. Hard to believe we actually got married in their garden now that it's covered in a thick blanket of snow, and swim in that Fjord, brrrrrr! All these pics are views from their windows. Amazing!

Sweden

We took a little trip to Sweden on New Years day, we shopped, walked and ate. It was even colder than Norway, but a nice dry cold rather than the wet kind of cold we have in London.

Winter wonderland

Happy new year! Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
We just got back from Norway where I have never been so cold in my entire life! -12 during the day, dropping to -20 as soon as the sun set! We had many long walks in beautifully sunny weather and I can now drive in thick snow with the help of winter tyres!!

Merry Christmas/God Jul

Henrik and I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!
See you next year!

All wrapped up

Finally, my Christmas shopping is done and wrapped! Phew! Won't be leaving it until the last minute ever again!

Krakatoa

Bought the very lovely "krakatoa" print from Studio Violet for a friend, but as soon as it arrived I framed it and put it on my wall instead!!! I love it! So cold in London right now,lots of snow still on the ground. School has broken up and Im free as a bird for 2 whole weeks and looking forward to trips to Liverpool and Norway.

Happy 3rd Advent

We did our last trip of the year to Columbia Rd today to stock up on the last of our Christmas decorations, seemed as though most of London had the same idea-never seen it so busy!
Christmas is so near now (and I still have not started shopping for presents yet!!!)

Let the decorating begin!

I know it's early but I was really keen to get our Christmas decorations up this year!
We bought our tree last night and did a bit of decorating and today I made Pepper kaker (Ginger biscuits to us Brits) decorations for the tree. I made 8 that looked nice enough for the tree (and the rejects I ate!)

Peyton and Byrne

Popped into the West End after work to do some Christmas shopping and could not resist a cake from Peyton and Byrne. It looked better than it tasted!
