Harvest is a quality nett magazine (in Norwegian) about nature and our behavour towards nature, because „Nature does not need us but we are nothing without it„. The makers also see it as a bonfire where stories are told. And the stories are diverse. Adventures, expeditions, philosophy and science. See for yourself!

This – an old circus carage – will be my new home in Switzerland! A tiny house is Mr. K.’s new project and he is moving out of our loft in a couple of weeks. Besides building a house (even if it is a tiny one) on his own, the idea is to experiance how much do we need? How many things do we own and never use? How much space do we really need? And does a simple life work for me?
The space is limited and we are reducing our belongings. And this is fun and a relief! I have so many things I never use and don’t really want to have and it is a good feeling to give them away. We are not throwing away everything, but trying to give them to people who like them or need them.
All of this is a bit scary but also fun and I am excited how it will turn out. You can follow the project here (only in German).
Today, tea from Al Canton arrived. We have bought tea there for years. And since last time they have changed the packing from plastic to paper. And the new design is lovely. Nice colours and drawings from the plants in the tea.
„Al canton“ means in the corner. It is the name of the farm and that is also were it is located: in the furtest corner of the Swiss Alps. They have horses and grow tea herbs. What a life!
I got a bit excited drawing a holiday map last night. I love maps and water colour, so this is the combination of it!
I’m back from the holidays and I have had my first working day this year! Traveling from summer to winter can be quiet depressing if you find rain and wet and cold. But this time we were lucky and found Switzerland covered in a white pouder. And the sun has followed us as well. Not too bad!
This is a souvenir from Fuerteventura I just could not resist. I found it in a small shop in Corralejo on our last day. I’m looking forward to have it in my office and being reminded of these great days we had. Thank you Beré Handmade, you make lovely things!
This was the last day and tomorrow it goes back to Zürich. The snow has come at last in Switzerland. I’m looking forward to go home (I always do). And maybe there will be a bit of skiing before I go back to Bergen. This time it will be via Turku in Finland (where I have only been once for 10 minutes). Sonja, maybe you remeber…
But here some panos from Fuerte and Lanzarote. As always we loved it and intend to come back. But this time with a goal. We want to learn to surf.
Common to all Canary Islands it that the North is greener. This is because the weather and with it the rain is usually coming from the north-west. The clouds are stopped by the mountains and rain out on the northern side. Also on Lanzarote we found green pastures and bushes on the northern side.
