Dead And Lovely

Hello you:)

Yesterday I saw the movie 'Nightmare Before Christmas'. It's one of those movies everybody knows, but I've never seen. It was lovely, I can see why so many people love it. The concept of the movie is such a good idea and the way it's made is so impressive, typical Tim Burton. I also adore a good love story so I appreciated Jack and Sally's story a lot. I had heard of the movie before I saw it, but I had no idea it was a musical so that was a pleasant surprise for me, the music was great!

I went for a walk a while ago around a lake nearby and the scenery was so beautiful looking. I didn't bring my good camera, but I captured the best I could with the camera on my iPhone. I just love walking around this lake, no matter where you look it's beautiful. There were lots of ducks in the water greeting us as we were walking by, but it was too dark to see them in photos. I always associate that place with Tom Waits because before I left Bergen two and a half years ago I used to listen to him constantly and always have him on my ears while walking around it.

Lots of love

Snow!

I've had a great few days being mostly at home enjoying time with my grandma and her husband. They stayed here in Bergen longer than expected which I was delighted about. I was happy about staying inside as well, it's getting really cold outside. I snowed a few days ago for the first time this year which is very exciting, but scary because the ground is gonna be slippery and I tend to fall easily and a lot, I'm incredibly clumsy! They had their dog with them who's called Roma. She's a two year old Rottweiler, she's huge, heavy and really easily excited so she's jumps up on me almost knocking me over, it's really funny! My grandma is an amazing cook so I got her to teach me a few things, it was great fun. She taught me to cook a steak and bake bread. The bread is amazing, it tastes so good and I'm excited I can make it now. It's been quiet the last days and it's been really nice. Here's some pictures:)

I'm showing grandma the front camera on my phone

Baking bread, it just looked so pretty!

Bread ready to be put in the oven

Our first snow, it was hard to capture it, but I think I managed!

In town doing a little bit of shopping and following Ken to work

I was cutting my avocado and just kept on cutting through the stone and didn't think about or notice before I was done! I must have superpowers without knowing about it!

Keep warm! Lots of love xoxo

Fall beauty

Yesterday I spent the morning at my mums place. She's got herself a new house and are throwing away lots of things from the house she's been living in and to help her do that she had my aunt fly in from Trondheim. She's not my aunt by blood, but she's just always been my aunt, you know that way? We had a great breakfast together, my mum loves big breakfasts and so do I so it's lots of bread and everything you could possibly have on it, eggs, sausages and bacon. It was great!

I went through some clothes to see if I wanted any and I went through some of my old school books. I found a few great clothes that I liked and kept and while going through my school books I found so much drawings in them I thought I'd show some. I used to be absolutely crazy about horses. I still am of course, but I used to have horses on everything I owned. I forgot to take pictures of the beautiful breakfast and my beautiful aunt unfortunately, but I took some of my old books.

So it started like this, this is from 97 so when I was five. Before I had even started riding, I started when I was six. I had a thing for horses long before I actually got to be around them.

The heart around only the word horse!! Haha

I think I had to draw the different seasons and I put some horses in there too!

We had to make a comic strip! Haha, it just looked so funny!

This one says in the first picture "just rubbish" and the second one says "This is the way we want it"

This is obviously not my drawings in my book, it must have been the thing that happened before frapes!

My drawings evolved a little thankfully! This one was drawn in 04 so I must have been 12.  I can't explain the extremely long legs, it must have been a young horse, haha!

I also liked drawing them in a funny way.

It was so much fun looking through my books, almost every page looked like that, I had forgotten how much I liked to draw! I also read my diary from when I was little and instead of having boys names in hearts I used to have horse names. In my diary it said:

"What is your favorite thing to do: See and ride Rozz.

What is the highlight of your weekend: Brush and spend time with Rozz

What do you look forward to: Ride and pet Rozz"

It was so funny to read!

My grandma and her husband is here for my dads birthday today. It so good to see them. They brought their Rottweiler, Roma, as well. It's nice to have a dog in the house again. They drove here from east in Norway, a place called Telemark. It close to Oslo. I don't get to see them a lot so I'm always very happy when they are here. 

My dad is turning 47 today so I made cupcakes for him yesterday. I've made cupcakes before, but only with my friend, Ciara, because she actually can bake. I tried on my own this time and they turned out fine. It was fun and they looked really cute.

I don't think we're celebrating his birthday a lot, but it's very nice being with him on his birthday again as we have been in different countries the last few years and haven't seen each other for any of the holidays or birthdays. I love being here. 

I've been out all day today and I just love the fall colours. Every single tree is just so stunning and you feel like you're walking in a fairytale world. It's raining yellow leaves and the ground is full of them too so wherever you see it's so beautiful, especially on such a beautiful sunny day like this! I don't think fall and it's beauty will ever stop amusing me. 

Happy birthday dad, I love you

Tiffany Blue

Hello there

Tiffany's has this thing on their website called what makes true love where you send in a romantic photo and they choose certain ones that go on their website and my photo made it, yay! You can find it here. You can give me votes by clicking 'like' next to the heart. I'm not really sure what happens if you get a lot of likes or what you get if you're the one with the most likes, but I wouldn't mind finding out! 

I love Tiffany's. They are the only ones that could make a Cyan colour be so romantic. They have trademarked their colour and called it 'Tiffany Blue', I think that's pretty cool. I think I got my eyes opened for the company through my favorite movie 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. I had to check out what Tiffany's were like of course and I love every single piece they do. 

I'm lucky to have my own Tiffany's piece. My last birthday turning 20, Ken told me he had a surprise for me and took me in to Dublin town and bought me a chocolate muffin and a latte and took me to Tiffany's so I would get to have breakfast at Tiffany's and got me a necklace. It one of the sweetest things anyone has ever done for me. The necklace is a small circle with the letter 'E' in it, it's perfect! It's a perfect size as I like small jewelry pieces, it's classy and goes with everything. I love it so much.

Outside Tiffany's on my birthday with the bag and my muffin in my hand.

One of the most exciting boxes I've opened!

Isn't it so pretty?

The other day I went to see Ken at work. He works in Grieghallen these days. I've always loved that place so it's pretty cool to see what goes on behind the scenes. Ken sets up tables and build stages and that sort of stuff. He had to work overtime and was starving so I came to meet him and give him a little food. I'm always so excited to see him if I haven't seen him for a while so I was very happy to come.

Outside Grieghallen

In the reception you find this massive Edward Grieg piece, so cool!

Here he is working away! 

Later in the day I was also super lucky to get some awesome flowers and chocolate. They look like they're on fire I just had to show them off. I love the colour!

Have a good one!

Beetles

Hei!

I've been tied to the bed the last few days because of my cold. Not cool! The only interesting thing I've really done outside the house apart from a few errands is going to a car gathering with my grandpa. I've wanted to for a really long time, he's asked me several times to go, but I've never been able to. He's been going to meetings for years. He's had a Beetle for as long as I can remember and a motorbike with a side wagon. He takes apart the motorbike every winter to make sure all the parts are in shape and stuff and puts it together for the summer season. He parks his car for the winter too and can fix it himself if it's broken, I think that's really cool.

When I was little he would take me out to his back garden with my bike and we'd take it apart and polish it and put oil on the parts that needed it and really do it up. He also brought me big pieces of chalk one day and together we picked out fossils, it was really exciting! I still have the ones we found, he gave me a book too so I could try to figure out which kinds I found. He'd also take me fishing, mushroom picking, hiking, bike rides and motorbike rides. I feel so fortunate to have done many of those things. He's really interesting, he'd know way more than my school books and has had the most interesting jobs like gold smith, sailor and marine biologist. We always have something to talk about which is great! 

Back to what we did! It was a VW club who hosted the meeting and they were turning 25 that day. There were 25 cars who showed up mostly beetles, some busses and two really old Volvos. We drove all together for little over an hour before we stopped. We were gonna pick up some pizzas, but they weren't ready like they were suppose to even though they had ordered them three days in advance. We left and drove for another 15 minutes till we came to an old school. It was a big yellow building on top of a small hill. It looked a very typical old school. Some guy had bought it and turned it into a museum. He had bought really old cars that were gonna go to waste so he got them really cheap. He put them in the schools old gym which was downstairs in the building. There were toilets in the hallway, a food hall and another room which I'm guessing was the classroom. They had filled that room with typical sixties things. They had made two living room looking corners and in the middle there was like a big glass shelf with old car models and other things that was typical sixties style and wooden skis. 

When we had seen everything there was to see someone had picked up the delayed pizza and we all went to the food hall to eat and watch old movies from Bergen and how the rode we drove there on was made. The atmosphere was in general very nice and people seemed excited to be there and see each other. It was very lucky that it was sunny that day, we got to see so much nature on the way and it's especially beautiful now I think as everything is yellow, orange and red. It was a really cool experience and I was so happy to see my grandpa again, I don't see him nearly enough. 

Here we are right before we left from Bergen. 

My Grandpa's beetle. I think her name is Dolly.

Me and my grandpa, Kjell. Ken's photo.

Ken had this cool idea,  love this photo. 

Grandpa and Ken in the small beetle. I had to sit in the back as usual because there were less space there. Lame! I think the boys just want to stick together!

Typical sixties living room in the old class room.

An old gas tank! So cute!

He also had some old motorbikes

It was made to look like an old gas station, cute! There's my grandpa and some of his friends.

I loved this one

Oldies

All the cars were really big

One of the beetles were an old police car.

Ken is busy being handsome in the food hall.

Old Pinball machine

Here's me and Ken. We tried to take a photo of us in a hurry with all the cars in the background, but failed.. 

Beautiful scenery on the way back

Pretty, pretty!

It was a great day, I had a lot of fun. I'll have to link you to Ken's page again as he's got some awesome photos of for example all the cars on the road and things like that. I feel very lucky that my grandpa took us, I had a blast!

I'm still inside with my tea, but I'm ready for some action again now, I'm pretty soon over my cold. Ken has got a bank account opened now, that's pretty awesome and he's started working too. I'm very proud and excited! 

Love
