Winter is coming

That's it ! after weeks of rain and foggy weather that clearly reminded me of Belgium, winter is knocking on our door.

Warning : this post is going to be close to an orgy of picture.

So, first, we had a lot of rain this past weeks. It looked miserable, gray, and mostly like this :

Which has it's charm, no doubt. But after hearing so much about the norwegian snow and winter, it became quite sad.

Then, tuesday morning, TADAAAAAM 

Blue sky, sun, and cold. It felt colder than it was, but finally, something seasonal. 

Back from school, we headed up straight to our new gapahuk to light a fire and enjoy this blessed sunny day.

The next day was the christmas-tree-hunt. The mist was back, but the temperature was still a couple of degrees celsius under zero. Fan-tas-tic !

We went north of the house, a bit after the eagle nest. Morten knew a place where we could wander and pick a nice tree. His expectation and standards were high but eventually, we found it ! We've attached a red ribbon on it and tried to memorized the way to it. We'll be coming back for it around the 22nd of December. That's going to be an adventure for sure ! 

This is the osprey nest. The left in august to travel to south Africa. Each year, they come back to the exact same nest. 

Back home, a good cup of ginger tea while watching the birds eating sunflower seeds just in front of the window, delightful ! That said, I'm not convinced the cat would think alike…

And when I thought it couldn't be better without snow, nature still amazed me. Yesterday morning, queen Elsa from Frozen had really been around my house !!

And it's just a magnificent and magic sight.

And we had a tiny little bit of snow during the night. 

Brrrrr !

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow !

Ps !
While winter is on its way, my annual obsession of knitting was back. Nothing beats the joy of creating something yourself, methinks !

(my very first socks !!!!!)
