Nearly two weeks ago Stavanger had its biggest snowfall for 40 years and it still lies deep everywhere with no sign of melting ... the temperature here is currently nine below zero. However, Norwegian cars all have winter tyres so there's no whining about a lack of gritters. Our neighbourhood roads are all covered with a thick layer of ice so we simply slip and slide down the hill in the car everyday. Sophie tried out cross-country skiing today on borrowed skis. She enjoyed it so we'll get her a pair of her own. She's looking a bit grumpy in the sledge photo. It was taken just after she fell off and banged her nose (... hence the title of this blog entry).
