It’s not long until Christmas and we have a whole house and a professional kitchen to our disposal. Since we have to wait for our winter equipment, we are utilizing this opportunity to the max. Today Jan made a big batch of roasted almonds with different flavours, yummy!
We have now come so far north that the winter has now settled for sure and we have therefore decided to ditch our summer and autumn equipment and get our winter equipment.

In the lowlands there are more forest roads, which is handy if there should come a lot of … Continue reading Bonfire and aurora
