When I came to Scotland in 2008 there was no direct route between the Faroe Islands and Scotland. Only the occasional Christmas flight home. In 2015 the faroese airline company Atlantic Airways decided to try out a new route and set up direct flights between the Faroe Islands and Edinburgh. It goes without saying that … Continue reading Faroese winter visit part 1.

Halloween 2016
JJ loves lions at the moment. He is the biggest fan of Raa Raa The Noisy Lion, so it was easy to find out what he should dress up as. It was a little bit less easy to find the perfect lion costume. Not until a friend mentioned Time To Dress Up and I had … Continue reading Halloween 2016
Autumn candle jar
There are beautiful autumn leafs everywhere. I can not get enough of the stunning autumn colours. Last week we picked leafs in the neighbourhood and brought them home. JJ loves crafts and get so excited when I take the crafts basket out of the cupboard. An empty coffee jar was on its way in the … Continue reading Autumn candle jar
Mr. Egghead
Autumn is here and I love it! For some reason it is always the season when I get a bit creative. The knitting needles have found their way back out of the basked next to the sofa, we are constantly out picking leafs and sticks to glue onto paper and we have started thinking about … Continue reading Mr. Egghead
Living
I don't like the word busy. So I am not gonna say that we have been so busy lately, instead we have been living a lot recently. We have been discovering new toddler groups, gotten to know new amazing people, caught up with friends, been at the beach, spent weekends at granny, photographed weddings and I … Continue reading Living

Let me walk you through what really happened and what a typical night is … Continue reading Just another night
Bye bye summer
Just less than 3 months ago James got a new job and he loves it. It was one of those opportunities that find you when you are not looking and are too good not to say yes to. We knew that this would mean busy times ahead for our family. August was gonna be especially … Continue reading Bye bye summer
What a difference a year makes
The 28th and the 29th of July are very special to anyone of Faroese nationality. They are our national holiday Ólavsøka and the celebrations are BIG! The 29th of July is also James birthday and in 2014 he proposed to me on that day during the national holiday celebrations. It was such a special day, … Continue reading What a difference a year makes
Life’s a beach
My hometown has the most amazing beach. It is actually the largest beach in the whole of the Faroe Islands and I have always loved playing there. This summer my sister took JJ for a walk to the beach in Sandvík with her collie dog Sherlock. As the pictures below indicate, he loved it too! Going … Continue reading Life’s a beach
Hiking and baby wearing in the Faroe Islands
I love the ocean and I love mountains too. I definitely love the ocean more than the mountains, but above all other mountains I love the faroese mountains. Living in the North East of Scotland the mountains there are in my opinion more like rolling hills. Don't get me wrong, they are stunning too and … Continue reading Hiking and baby wearing in the Faroe Islands
