After a lot of snow pretty much buried our farm in the last couple of days, we decided to accept a three-week wall building job on an island nearby. During the two hour drive, it was once again amazing to see the climate change...

About two years ago, we lived out of our pannier bags for 10 weeks on the longest trip we have been on, through Norway and Iceland. One of the most memorable bits of beauty we came across was this little geothermal pool, close...

A couple of months ago we got an armchair from ikea for the living room. We placed it next to the large living room window and it's sunny and warm in the mornings, my favorite place to enjoy my coffee. It has become the most...

Sølvi Dam @besweet Thanks! It is temporary, until we can afford a 'proper' sofa, but I like it :) I bet the view towards the city is great, there must be all sorts to look at! Yes - this was the best picture I could find of the sofa, but it was actually a photo of...

Sølvi Dam The little joys in life :) What are you looking out towards from your window? The favourite spot in our house for me has become our home-made pallet sofa.. it's just 6 pallets with an old futon and some cushions on top, but suprisingly comfy!

The sun has turned again and the days are gradually getting longer once more. About time, because just as everything is slightly different at night compared to the day, life also alters in winter compared to summer. I love...

Sølvi Dam I can imagine it must have been strange for your husband to leave such a distinctive part of nature behind. For example, I can't imagine moving away from the mountains and into flat land! Do you feel the same about lakes and rivers? For some reason they...

Sølvi Dam Nice to hear that you find it relaxing! I have heard this a lot. I suppose there must be something in us that recognizes the natural sound of waves on the shore! Just like the wind in the trees or the crackling of a fire.

Sølvi Dam @msdivkar 'staying on the coast and admiring its beauty and vastness is one thing and venturing into it is totally different.' Well said! I bet the experience of a long sea voyage would totally change our perspective.

Sølvi Dam Thanks JR T.! I can't imagine what a tropical climate would be like. Fauna and Flora must be through the roof, I'd love to see that one day. I can understand the stress people will experience in flood prone areas.. at the foot of the mountain here we have an...

Sølvi Dam Nice to hear :) I would not be able to go as far as love or hate but I certainly agree there is nothing like it! Do you try to stay out of the sun in summers? Or is it the heat?

Sølvi Dam It can be really tough when thoughts keep floating around. I used to listen to music to try and fall asleep, but apparently that can keep us in a very shallow sleep from which we don't rest very well! What do you do to try and help out a restless mind?

Sølvi Dam Oh I like that! For some of us it is just really important to get outside and interact! What kind of volunteering do you do at the school?
