Dear Heidi,
We have finally got Spring! The first daffodil is out in the garden, I have hung my laundry out on the line! Today Pappa and I have spent the day working in the garden, tidying and cleaning up in the greenhouse. Yes, it took all day! Pappa found a gigantic frog in the far depth of the back corner, which he popped into the pond. The bees are humming and the birds are busy in their nest boxes. Next doors cat Phillipa is expecting kittens again soon.
In the henhouse, the eight new white hens are finally getting the confidence to spend more time outside, but so far only one seems to be laying. I sincerely hope we haven’t been given 7 roosters!
Nevertheless, one newlylaid egg is very welcome every day.
D is working in Oslo, trimming the trees in Spikkersuppe, in Karl Johannesgate, where the ice skating rink is. His trip to Bergen is put off. He is a little disappointed, but I am glad to have him home still. One good thing about it, for him, is that he has met some other newly qualified Arborists that have also applied to do the course at the school in Hardangerfjord in the autumn.
Well, tomorrow I am meeting A in Bjørkelangen, to have coffee and visit the greenhouse at the VGS, to buy geraniums. I must also start some seeds off, now that the greenhouse is ready! The usual selection: runner beans, courgettes, sweet corn, kale and chard, salad stuffs, carrots and parsnips....
And quite a few other things too.
So another busy day ahead. I sincerely hope that you are getting ahead with all your revision, and that now you have Miss Kendall to teach history and geography you are enjoying those lessons again! I have still not heard anything about those exams, but keep studying. It will all come in somehow!
I send you all our love, in great anticipation of seeing you in just a few weeks now!
Your own Mamma.

6th April
Dear Heidi,
At last the sun is shining here again, and yesterday’s snow has blown into what I can only describe as snow mushrooms! Many of the fields look like the angels have been playing snowballs as the whole field of snow are completely smooth except they are totally covered in tennis ball sized balls of snow! Quite extraordinary!
It looks like you are having a great time in Bermuda! Your bike riding trip sounded fun, but how could you get sunburnt now? Bad luck! I am looking forwards to hearing more about it all soon.
Back home we have finally got a few coltsfoot flowers out at long last. Pappa and D had their birthdays although we have not had a party yet. Perhaps next Friday, which is of course YOUR 18th birthday! You will be somewhere out in the Atlantic and we will not be able to talk then. We wish you the best year ever to come, and send so much love there isn’t room on the iCloud to send it all!
I hear that you are awaiting yet another history teacher. Hmmn!
Work hard, you just have three weeks left of school days before your exams start,
We know you will do your best🙂
Love you, Mamma.

April 2nd
My dear Heidi,
Already April and you may be home to Norway in May!! So soon, it seems, a school year has gone by. We are still under a whole heap of snow and the boys have been having a lot of fun with a tractor inner tube down the other side of the big field! So now we have had snow cover since October and I for one am ready for spring!
There isn’t even a whisper of coltsfoot or any other spring signs yet, and I can’t recall that we haven’t had flowers for Ds birthday ever! Neither have I hung out the washing, and you know how much I love to do that. However, we do have lovely sunshine every day at the moment...although Pappa would rather have rain to wash the snow away....
I wonder what you did for Easter? Was there extra chocolate?? I see that you are nearly at Bermuda and I am looking forwards to talking to you again. Florida seems a long time ago now. We had a lovely time in England, and in Wales where we stayed with B and S. Tante seems to have enjoyed looking after our garden birds, and tolerated the rest of our animals! W has grown again, and is getting to be strong and grown up. You will really see a difference in him at least!
Now we are just beginning to settle down into everyday life, just for two weeks before we are back to the Uk with W for his teacher conference time. Then Pappa hopes the fields will be ready to start all the spring work. He had already nearly finished this time last year!
All for now, my darling,
Love always, Mamma.
