God almighty, what a way to start a New Year... from the house you can almost see round the whole bay and from about 6pm there were regular intermittent bangs..from 11.30 it was constant and you could see (and hear) fireworks all round the bay, behind us up the hills and everywhere!
We had our own as well we set off at midnight (along with the rest of the world).. it was very moving really, although I'd say if you lived through the Blitz in London you'd be terrified! Then we were visited by three very glamorous early twenties Norwegians who popped in for a toast, a drink, a dance and then disappeared again into the darkness (we were in the garden at this time)
And today we went for a walk to get a bit of fresh air into everyone - the weather was cold, very still and bright - have a look at the photos, will you? It was beautiful! The last one is three swords (modern) commemorating something or other - I suspect the unification of Norway round about 872AD.
