Greetings!I got the post market blues and therefore looking through pictures. A great way to try to cure it is of course to look at, edit and post pictures from markets. This does not really make it better. A lot of great moments and memories remains in the heart and in the head tho. Thank you …
Hi! This summer's market season is sadly over for now. Now, as I have finally looked through all the pictures from this summer, I miss all of my friends and the atmosphere so much. Here are some of the pictures from Leikvin viking market in Sunndal. Can't wait to return again next year. The guys …

Hei igjen! Det er atter en gang blitt lenge siden forrige innlegg, men her kommer altså ett om nålebinding. Nå har det jo blitt vinter og det er mer enn på tide å komme i gang med neste sesongs forberedelser. Jeg har ikke ork til å begynne med noe stort prosjekt akkurat nå og derfor …

For en tur, for en …
Jeg og June var på Sarpsborg vikingmarked i helga. Det var et utrolig fint og koselig marked. Det ble veldig mye avslapning, litt matlaging, mye latter, møte med gamle venner og bekjente, og så ble det noen nye venner. Helt perfekt. Jeg er forelsket i denne lille jenta. Ida, den vakre datteren til Vanna og …
Jeg har vært i Haithabu!Det var helt uvirkelig å kjøre gjennom ringmuren, og se landskapet som i vikingtiden utgjorde en av de aller største og viktigste byene i Norden i vikingtid. Haithabu, eller Hedeby, lå helt syd i vikingtidens Danmark, og byen regnes som den eldste danske byen (selv om den i dag ligger utenfor …
