I’m now back from a lovely little trip over to Ireland to see friends and family and to do some shopping before I start my new job. The weather was very good and everything was quite enjoyable. I find Ireland to be a beautiful country no matter the season, but there is something special about… Continue reading Back to Ireland Part 1

Great Weekend and Ireland Again!
This extended weekend I’ve had after my last day at work, has been really good. Thursday we went for dinner at my parents and started the long overdue process of defrosting the freezer. Friday I treated myself to a massage and after that we headed for the summer-house to fix a little problem with the… Continue reading Great Weekend and Ireland Again!
Rainy Summer
I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to spend quite some time at our summer-house this summer. The weather hasn’t been the best, but I have enjoyed myself a lot. There is no rule saying you can’t go out in the rain and wind, but it’s nice to stay indoors and regain some… Continue reading Rainy Summer
Porto Venere
At the end of our tour of the Cinque Terre the boat took us to the town of Porto Venere. This is a lovely little town close to Cinque Terre. We had some time to take a look around here and I enjoyed walking in this cosy town. We did not have the time to… Continue reading Porto Venere

We stayed outside of the wall at a very nice hotel called, Hotel Napoleon… Continue reading Hotel Napoleon – Lucca
Tuscan Wedding
As most of you have probably seen from my previous posts, the main reason that we went to Italy for our summer holiday this year was to take part in my friend’s wedding. The venue was amazing! The ceremony was held under a large oak and the mayor of the town preformed the ceremony. It… Continue reading Tuscan Wedding
La Pievanella
The wedding was held at an olive farm that is redone to be a wonderful place for spending a holiday. There was two houses with lovely big rooms and nice bathrooms. The only draw back was the fact that it had no air condition and there was around 40 degrees when we where staying there.… Continue reading La Pievanella
Tuscany
I’m back from a lovely vacation in Tuscany. I’ll only stay for a few days at home before I go to our summer-house, but I will take the time to update my neglected blog. We flew down to a wedding in Tuscany from Stavanger via Frankfurt to Florence. We arrived safely and on time so… Continue reading Tuscany
