Vanaf vandaag schrijf ik de blog verder in het engels. Zo kunnen onze buitenlandse vrienden onze avonturen ook volgen en voor de meeste mensen in nederland zal het geen probleem zijn.
As of today I will be writing in English to enable friends abroad to follow our blog as well.
For those of you who don´t know what this blog is about, we are moving to Norway. We will be living on Tysnes, an island near Bergen on a goat-cheesefarm called Myrdal Gard.
Our last sunday in our house in Kimswerd. The house is ready, all we need to pack is some clothing and the computer. Its amazing how we keep checking off the list of things-to-do but it never seems to end. However, the things-to-do get smaller and sillier, because our brains won't keep the information in and we need to write everything down.
Tomorrow the kids will say goodbye to their friends at school. Although they've only gone to this school for two years they have made some good friends and had a good time. I expect it won't be easy. Many have expressed the desire to come and visit and we hope they will. Emma realizes she will probably not see many of them ever again, ( I can see some uwc-emotional times coming up)
They start going to school in Norway on the fifth day after our arrival. Unfortunately they are not going to the same school because of the age difference, but we're confident that they will soon make new friends and get used to their new schools. Both of them will be going to school by schoolbus and won't have to leave the island (for education) untill the age of 15.
After a long cold winter we can finally feel that spring is in the air. The climate and weather has been quite similar in Norway. We have only seen the farm and the land in the midst of winter under a blanket of snow, which was beautifull, but we look forward to spring and summertime and nature to become green again.
Jasper will be driving to Norway with his father, Sam and the dogs, on tuesday. Me, Emma and Jasper's mom will fly there on thursday. Its strange to say goodbye to eachother and meet up in our new house in a new country. But I´m sure lots of things will be strange this coming year and I look forward to a new start, a new house, a new job, a new country....
My next message will be from Norway! Ha det bra!
