Sitting in the sun, while writing my blog, I am so enjoying the warmth on my skin. Finally sun, even though it is still cold in the wind. While the rest of Norway has enjoyed temperatures up to 30°C, we have had up until now three days over 10° C. I Lees verder →
Before I let Bizou out of the door, I check if there are any cars on the parking place in front of the lighthouse. No one there and I feel my body relax. I open the door and take a step outside. It’s early in the morning, the air is slightly damp aga Lees verder →
I put on my ‘brave shoes’ and decide to go for a walk all the way to the village, to pick up a parcel. I haven’t walked that long and far since I hurt my ankle in December. It’s a grey day, temperatures have dropped again. Now around 3 to 4 °C. But w Lees verder →
It’s storming outside. And I know the wind will gain even more force, coming the night. I see the waves of the sea, furious white, with lots of spraying water. I hear the wind howling around the house. Now and then I feel the house shudder under the Lees verder →
I haven’t written a blog in a long time. I do have written but that is for now, only for myself and hopefully for the book I am writing. The book is called: ‘Jakten på lysen’ , Hunting for the light. I love that title, for it is exactly what I am doi Lees verder →

It’s dark outside. I am standing next to the lighthouse, staring out over the dark sea. I see the bundle of light from the lighthouse, cutting like a laser through the seemingly endless dark space in front of me. Then to the east, I see small tiny li Lees verder →
The wind blows hard over the snow-covered ‘heia’. The snow itself is covered with a crust of ice. It’s cold. Every step I take is like biting into my favourite chocolate: crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. My dog Bizou skates over the ice-cr Lees verder →
The wave climbs higher and higher, riding the edge, until it has no other choice then come crashing down with so much power that it splashes white foamy water all over. Again and again, I see the waves coming in and crashing down. Today, the south/we Lees verder →
The wind blows across the fjell, the grass bends deeply down. The sea is restless today, white cuffs appear on the waves. ‘Stiv kuling’ they call that here. I am sitting on the veranda, safely out of the wind. Looking at the most beautiful view you c Lees verder →
I slowly drive up the road to the point where the land stops and the nothingness seems to begin. The sky is grey and depressing. After travelling for days in the heat and sunshine, it feels disappointing that my so long awaited arrival is not covered Lees verder →
After four busy months of preparation and a 3.400 km drive up north, I have finally arrived at Slettnesfyr. In this video you will get to see: me, bizou and the lighthouse at a gorgeous beach how I am doing Lees verder →
