Simon and Jasmine Dale’s hobbit house: An eco dream!

Most of us have heroes or people they look up to in life. For me, it is mostly people who lead the way towards a more green, beautiful and sustainable future. Ever since I discovered Simon Dale with his self-built hobbit house in 2007, he’s been the kind of person I highly admire, and I …

How we go hiking/camping with a small baby

Camping with a newborn can seem like a bit of a challenge, but I want you to know it can actually be a wonderful experience, not that much more stressful than staying at home. But let’s be fair, I must admit we ended up more like glamping than camping 😉 Remember, the baby just need …

Beltane: 7 things I do to celebrate

It’s that time of the year again! The first flowers are popping up, the first leaves are springing out, the birds are chirping all around and everything is just about to turn green. It is the time of Beltane, or as we call it here in the north, Valborg. For us it is a good …

Glorious garden days

It is not often it happens, but sometimes, summer feels just right! Life in the deep fjords of western Norway is lush, green and mild, but it comes at a price. We do have quite a lot of rain, and sometimes wind. Sometimes it rains constantly for weeks, but usually the weather is rather diverse, …

Foraging for wild garlic ~ And a recipe!

We went to this stunningly beautiful place just a short drive from home, to have a hike during this perfect spring day. My brother was visiting and we had an excuse to go on a little adventure and just enjoy the sun and the fresh air. I just love how beautiful the mountains and the …
