I'm looking forward to discovering some Norwegian writers, so will keep my eye open for Rolvaag.<BR/><BR/>Dick, you surely will find something more substantial soon...<BR/><BR/>And Lucy, thank you, it's nice to be missed. We have some lovely beaches quite near us where we live in Stavanger. There is a very long sandy one at Sola, near the airport. Norway actually had a 2 month long heat wave this summer and we had a couple of days lying on the beach while the children paddled in the sea.Jonathan Wonhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09862200571016427320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7083730.post-31325906153641857082008-09-27T16:05:00.000+02:002008-09-27T16:05:00.000+02:00So pleased when your light came on!I thought proba...So pleased when your light came on!<BR/><BR/>I thought probably Norway but New Zealand was a possibility too, as also having fjords, and there was a reference to beaches...<BR/><BR/>Where- and whatever you blog, I'll always enjoy visiting.<BR/><BR/>(I rather like 'Granitic Eddas' myself...)Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7083730.post-22311296050055622952008-09-26T17:04:00.000+02:002008-09-26T17:04:00.000+02:00Welcome back, Jonathan - if only tenuously.
