Up to the glacier we go! pt. I

At the weekend of 8th-12th of August M & I went up to my parents place, my home place, up north in Norway. This was a weekend we both looked very forward to, as my sister and her french boyfriend was there too. And M hadn't yet meet them - so it was about time :)

Vi travelled by plane Thursday night, and we truly had the weather gods on our side because the next day's weather was perfect for hiking. Which we took advantage of with taking a boat over the fjords and hiked up to the famous glacier - Svartisen. Even I who is from the place hadn't yet been so close to the glacier that I had ever touched it. It was absolutely amazing! Absolutely amazing was also the landscape around, incredible nature, shapes and colour play! Quite impossible to not get good shots from there. So here are some pics from the hike up to the glacier~!

FYI: if you click on the first pictures you can look at the pictures without scrolling downwards :)

Helgen 8.-12. August pakket jeg og M kofferten og reiste oppover til mamma og pappa, min hjemplass, oppe i nord-norge. Vi hadde sett veldig frem til denne helgen siden søster og hennes franske kjæreste var der, som M enda ikke hadde fått hilst på - så det var på tide! 

Vi reiste med fly torsdag kveld, og hadde værgudene på vår side for dagen etter ble det fantastisk turvær. Som vi benyttet ved å ta båt over fjorden og gå opp til Svartisen for å ta på den. Selv jeg som kommer der i fra hadde enda ikke vært så nær isen at jeg hadde tatt på den! Det var helt fantastisk. Og helt fantastisk var også landskapet rundt,  utrolig natur, former og fargespill. Helt umulig å ikke få fine bilder derfra. Så her er et lite bilde dryss på turen opp~!

Leaving Winter Wonderland

Yes, I am leaving winter wonderland up north in Norway for this time any moment soon. It is bittersweet. Because I am leaving to go to Trondheim for 3 days, just to prepare to return to UK. After Christmas it was okay to return to UK, this time it isn't. I don't want to go back. I want to stay.

I probably have this feeling because just in 2 months time I will be back in Norway, and a part of me can't see the point in going away from everything I love and enjoy for just two months. But my head is telling me otherwise. I have to. I have a bachelor to finish, I have stuff to do.

So another part of me is panicking because it feels like I haven't worked as much as I planned to do. But I know that I am not working 24/7 because I know I will finish this in time. I know I rather work like a maniac for the the last month than work like a maniac during Easter break. I did need to slow down a bit. But now it is time to pick up the speed!

In about 2 moths I will be back permanently - That is motivation indeed ;)
As for the style challenge I'll be back stronger tomorrow :)

Nordic Knit

On Thursday I came home to find this wonderful norwegian parcel from my dear friend, it contained norwegian rough grounded coffee, IFA - my favorite licorice pastils, and this glorious knitted shorts. I am so lucky that her mum made one for me, I am so happy and grateful for it. I love it. I love traditional knit patters from my home country and I love knitted shorts. 

Ps. You can now like my FB page to see when I update :) I would really appreciate it if you did :)
