Maggie, I am quite overwhelmed by all the lovely CIs. Thankyou thankyou. I hope I can return the favour with something you find useful.

In answer to your questions: the cold and dark in winter are rather depressing, and we don't see the northern lights much - too far south. The cabin is quite cozy though, well insulated. Where do you live?

The summer can be lovely. In June it hardly gets dark at all, a sort of long twilight before the sun comes up again. It can be very warm, 25-30, but often cooler wet periods. Very unpredictable. A lot of Norwegians go south for their holiday, and find out we had the warmest weather of the whole summer while they were gone. When it's fine, it's gorgeous. Here we are on a walk in August. The cabin is close to the lake in the distance. L-r: daughter, son, grandson, son-in-law and Kita the fat. Hubby is getting problems with his hip so he doesn't walk uphill much!



As to series on TV, we got Fortitude s.1, but none after that. It was quite well-received even though not filmed on Svalbard (too many polar bears there). Is it on Amazon? There is a ridiculous funny Viking series on Netflix (not the Amarican drama, but a Norwegian comedy series. Not subtitled but in English, with accents.)

I like sci-fi best, but also good crime series. The Bridge (Broen) was good, and I liked Broadchurch and Shetland. I am considering subscribing to Amazon to see the rest of the Expanse. And I love Grey's Anatomy.
