Have a Fantastic New Year

 Hi everyone, hope you enjoyed a wonderful holiday break.
 
We had some really good days here in the south east of Norway. I can`t remember a lazier, nicer, more "eat yourself out of your home" time ever. Both cats and people have been purring. It has been pretty cold, some days -15 and lots of twinkling snow were falling. Our neighbour made a huge scary snowman. I almost drove off the road the first time I saw it. Made my husband laugh out loud. Well, the snow has gone but when it fell it was thick and lovely, in the back garden the bushes were laden. Had a nice walk with our Dutch visitors, they took a lot of pictures. Norway is beautiful they said. I agree. I am happy to be surrounded by all this.
 
Thank you for your new year`s wishes, and your gentle words, for all your kindness, for all your compliments and support,  for Inspiring me with words, images and all your fabulous creative work. It means a lot to me that you take the time to come here, I am grateful for finding friends all over the world. Looking forward to another year, it will be my 6th with Modern Country. Utterly amazed how time flies. Wishing you all the best for the new year, let`s make the most of it !! 
 
 
" Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself.
Go forward and make your dreams come true "
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
 
Much Love ~ Aina
