We've just arrived at Rauland after a beautiful drive from Drammen with the late rays playing peekaboo amongst the dark, rain-heavy clouds. The sharp bend in the mountain road just before Nutheim revealed the veritable end of the rainbow - an incredible splash of the divine paintbrush against the grey-cloaked valley, beneath which must have been a pot of troll's gold.
It was a perfect family moment, singing songs together in the car, eager to see Mormor again and meet Eddie for the first time. But then five minutes later, after a period of quiet during which we thought you had fallen asleep, we heard the pitiable sounds of an upset tummy, and before we knew it you had thrown up all over your clothes and the car seat!
So we stopped the car and cleaned you up as best as we could amidst tears and rain. You were very brave as always, and eventually we had to laugh at the silliness of it all. You steer the ship now, Sweety, and we are but here to attend to you. All's well that end's well; we arrived safely, showered, and all had a good night's sleep. Now we're enjoying the mountain vibes and I've finally got time to reflect on this incredible summer.
It began with a Daddy-Daughter overnight in tent in the Skrim mountains, continued with a lovely celebration of Morfar's 70th in Copenhagen, and culminated in three blissful weeks at Echo Valley Farm, the highlight of which was the barn dance and epic family reunion for Bhapu's 70th bday. Pix and vidz abound, so I'll sign off for now but resolve to write again before another several months fly by!
