thanks folks twas braw Moving to Norway is certainly our long term goal, but ill be back in scotland this summer for a few years bashing away at leather and iron again

Have now moved on to another farm with new projects taking up the time (building a stone age boat) so there won't be any updates for a while!

How are you getting on learning the language?

i spent over a year learning norwegian before coming over here. since being here, i have learned one or two words. everybody speaks fluent english and insists on speaking it, so its difficult to learn anything new. I only speak it on the phone or in coffee shops really. and of course we are now on the west coast, an hour north of bergen, where they speak in a really thick accent to make it even harder

Looks you all had a good overnighter, good luck with the boat project.

I know exactly how you feel. When I lived on Cyprus I tried to learn the language and would try and use it whenever I could but the locals only really wanted to use English...better for them when dealing with tourists.
