Hi Norwegian!
Nice to have you aboard.

Great pics; you've certainly got the passion.

At what latitude are you?
Whatever it is, I'm impressed.

Fabulous website you've built! Congratulations.

62.5 latitude? I'm at 50.2. :?

Sounds like it's high time for me get over the fear of winter cold hardiness...with a bit of thought and protection.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
