Happy New Year!

So now year 2010 is over, a year that has been great in many ways! A lot of exciting things have happened. The year started in Mangsbodarna back home in Dalarna, Sweden, with great skitours and nice times with friends and family. Peter and I worked in Norway then, which also was quite an adventure, we really liked it there and made many new great friends, and had a lot of great experiences. In January I went to Scotland together with the Hunting, fishing, and guiding students at the course I was working at – a memory for life! And sometimes nerve-wrecking when driving on the “wrong side” of the road…. Last winter gave us lots of days with sunny shiny weather, great skiing, and lot of fun. We spent Easter in Mangsbodarna too, with more skiing, more friends and family, and before we knew it spring arrived! We had some exciting days at the camping site in Rena, Norway where we lived during the weeks, as the River Glomma rose during the spring flood…   In June I made a short visit to our dear Abisko in Northern Sweden, and then we had a lot to do home at the house before we left for Alaska. A great summer with blooming lilacs, sun, warm weather, and many heart-warming visits. Many thanks to all friends and family for all your help before we left – we wouldn’t have made it without you! Now we have experienced a wonderful Indian-summer, fall, and early winter here in Fairbanks, a new phase in life that is giving and thrilling in many ways. We have shared some of it in previous blogs, and there will be more later. We now wish you all a great 2011!!
