Maritime-Monday?

Hi everybody!
Thought I'd share some pictures from our one of our small living-rooms.
As we live at the coast of Norway and straight by the sea and fjords, it's natural that there are some maritime inputs in our house too I guess. :)

A new week and a new monday - wishing you a beautiful day.
Love,
Masy

Turning-point

Suddenly the rain came!

I think it's spring that's showing itself off.
The snow is melting and my wool-coat all of a sudden got pretty warm to be walking around in.Not so strange maybe, as I read the temperature it was +6 degrees and not -6 (and lower) which has been the normal the last months.
I have found my umbrella and my raincoat and think it's time to welcome Miss Spring and say goodbye to Mr. Winter.
Maybe a small get-together with Winter around Easter, but then our steps have to go in different directions.
Until next year, my friend!

Wonderful Winter




Sweetest Spring



Have a good friday!
Lots of love from

Mid-March!

Half-way through the first spring-month! The snow is slowly starting to melt here, and the sun is shining stronger everyday. I had an outdoor-coffee for the first time a week ago, and looking forward to many more! The picture is of one of our bushes in full bloom in May month last year. I just love the colors, hope you like it. Have a very good day!

A new day and a Friday

Good morning everybody!


Today it's Friday and I'm really looking forward to a relaxing weekend after a couple of hard-working days.
Work and rest is a combination in my life which I have to look on a regular basis to make sure that it is in some kind of balance.
It's so easy to fall outside on the rest-balance, but it's something we should really look after - be nice with ourselves and give the body and mind the peace it needs.

If I am stressed and tired I most often find the quiet and rest in beautiful nature, a lovely peace of music or surround myself with something beautiful like flowers. I also read a lot of quotes from great thinkers to see their view on what's important in life and meditate how I can bring this to my life, if I find it meaningful of course.

"All that we are is a result of what we have thought.. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him.. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him "

-Buddha /( ca 563-468 BC)

I wish you a very beautiful Friday.

March!

Spring is arising!

It's march, the first spring-month and I'm so happy with that! It feels in the air, a sense of something warm and the sun is shining better each day.
It' s spring!

Have a beautiful day!

Best,

History

The farm was the main farm in a small village which in the old days was called Quernevik. The farm is originated back to the 1500s.
For a period, it was used as a hospital. The farm belonged to a monastery which is situated on a little island north of the farm; around one hour away by boat. This meant that the farmers had to pay a small amount each year to the monastery. All the farms in the same commune belonged to this monastery. In 1847 it was passed down to my family, but they still had to pay an amount for the coming ten years. The ruins of the monastery is very much visible today.

Have a wonderful evening everybody.
Please ask me questions if there is something you want to know.

Yours,

Masy
