Recommended movie - Bridge to Terabithia

If you haven`t seen "Bridge to Terabithia", I can highly recommend it.

I really liked the fascinating story, the charm and the skill of the actors. The music was good. And not least, I am grateful that it did not turn into a cheesy Narnia rip-off.

It made my day!

Fields of Gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Among the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
And you can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lie in fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

Winter Olympics update!

Norway came out quite okay, despite an awful start to the Olympics. Not surprisingly we took the majority of our medals in crosscountry-skiing (!).

Aksel Lund Svindal won the Super-G, runner-up in the Downhill-race, and came in third in the GS. How awesome is that!!

I was surprised to see our curling-team going all the way to the Finals (lost against Canada, who were the far better team anyway). I now have a new fascination for curling..yea!




And Neil Young played in the closing-ceremony....Long May You Run Neil!

Almost snowed in....

With all the snow we`ve had here in Ørsta the pase week I`ve been helping my parents and grandparents removing snow from the rooftops (3 houses so far!).

At least the snow is good for something. The conditions at Bondalseidet have been terrific since Christmas.
Yesterday, it started snowing again..and when the weather got worse, I took a break and indulged myself with a little treat in the cafeteria





Yummy!

A cold day @ Bondalseidet

Another beautiful day @ Bondalseidet! The view from Eitrefjell (2300f) towards Ørsta is fantastic!!




This weekend we had -13 degrees Celsius. We`ve had tons of snow so far this year...6-7 feet I reckon...NOT that I`m complaining :)

Fun @ Bondalseidet

Last night we had a Scana Volda ski-event @ Bondalseidet Ski-centre!





The weatherconditions are fairly stable still, with enough snow to keep all but the powdersnow-buffs happy :)
We had a great time, with the mandatory photoshoot and of course a stop at the cafeteria...hot chocolate, yummy!

Picture taken from Melshornet, 807 m. Beautiful view... isn`t it? Well worth the effort going up there for sure!
