I do, but please note the bit about 17 days straight of pissing down rain, howling winds and blizzards.
If you ever feel the need then feel free to bring the fam up for a holiday and a look around in person.

And the second time I admire your libary @neph93 .
„…luminosity of the Nordic summer night...“
Even the Guardian has an article of this beaty.It really is a great building and we’re lucky to have it. Importantly, it also offers a lot of wonderful activities, making it a favourite for those with kids.
But loads of other great stuff goes on too. I’m proud to say I gave a lecture there once, about four years ago, on the Joy Division album «Unknown Pleasures»

Sunday funday! New storm front coming in tonight, so we made the most of the lighter weather and went up the cabin.
This morning I made “solboller” (rough translation, “sun-buns”. A kids favourite and traditional mid-winter fare while waiting for the sun to return. It’s simple stuff, first make a straightforward sweet dough:
Freshly risen dough is almost as satisfying as well worn denim:
Then make a space for some vanilla creams and fill them:
Bake:
And while that is happening make some royal icing. I took them up to the cabin with the little guys to see the in-laws.
The cabin is a little higher up so the snow doesn’t get washed away quite as easily. It is still bizarre that the lake isn’t totally frozen over in January. Local heads say they can’t remember the last time that happened. Still beautiful though…
My nieces were there too so my father-in-law held court and entertained them:
Still cold enough for this:
We walked down to the nearby stables while eating icicles. Obviously…
I’ve no idea if we’re allowed to do this stuff but Ingrid’s Dad just assumes we are [emoji28]
Then back home to ice the buns:
The kids seemed happy with the result…
We chilled out for the rest of the day..
Ate some dinner and drove back down to town in time to watch the mighty redmen batter some crap team from a crappy town up the canal, all the while singing “Who the f**k are Man Utd”? [emoji3166]
Pretty good day on the whole [emoji3526]

Fantastic photos, @neph93 - the view from the cabin looks very different from when we were there late July!
Amazing buns BTW

The buns were pretty great I have to say…
Yes the difference is quite dramatic. Still a lovely place to be and it gets very cosy inside. Wonderful to be able to come into the warmth after being out in the snow and look out over the lake. I was having lots of fond flashbacks to our time up there in the summer.

Sitting here in front of my laptop, hungry with just a cup of coffee… and then those buns ???
Whenever you're in the area @Chap then give me a couple of hours notice and I will oblige you. We have some good coffee making facilities around here too (and some great raw material for making sashimi).

That sounds like a bunsandcoffeeinvitation to Norway?
