Winter on the road to Ivesdal

Yesterday we experienced the winter at our way to Ivesdal, my wifes homeplace. Cold temperature, a strong wind and a little bit snow in the air, gave us this good feeling of being inside. Inside the car, and in the end - inside the house of my parents-in-law.
Have been married to Vigdis for over 11 years now, and i have never used two hours on these 30 km. We have been driven this road in different weather through the years. And yesterday gave us something to remember.

The strong wind made the trip fun. We had to go slowly, just to stay on the road... Just two-hundred metres away from Ivesdal, i drove the car into that snowdrift! And i couldn`t get it out of it. No trafficlights. Just those snowflakes blowing. After a while my boy said: "this is exciting!". Well, it turned the situation to be more cosy. We had each other, and were singing while waiting for a tractor to come.

In the end we met up with this special home, where my wife grew up. With her wonderful parents!

Here some photos of our way to Ivesdal, yesterday:






Not easy to go peeing at Runaskaret!




Here we are, celebrating winter in the snow!


Finally - my parents-in-law!

Om meg

I grew up at Årsvoll, a farm close to Sandnes. Sandnes is a city at the west coast of Norway - not far from where the oil is(!). I married Vigdis in 1995. She is from Bjerkreim, a place up in the mountains... a wonderful place! We have two children and enjoy our life in our little house at Ålgård - not far from Sandnes.
