We had a really lovely break away- very rural and quiet. The children played all day long with their friends, while the parents drank coffee and sat by the fire. We even drove through a night-time snowstorm (very exciting, as snow is very rare in these parts), went looking for penguins, and went running over sand dunes. The perfect winter break.
I got some good work in on my cross-stitch 'sampler' that I reserve strictly for holidays and very much enjoyed the internet break.
I just wanted to write that I'm absolutely devastated by the news of the massacre in Norway. Oslo and its surrounds have such a big place in my heart and the Norwegian people even more so. It's completely shocking and still unbelievable to me that such needless killings took place and I'm sending all my love there.
You can see some beautiful tributes here.
