I’m going to Norway for Christmas, yay! I’ll arrive on the 18th of December and depart on the 29th. So I’m just coming back to England in time for New Year. I’m quite looking forward to it, now I just have to come up with christmas presents for everyone… And on those lines I will post a wish list for myself & Charlie 
Me:
Dressing Gown
SLR Camera (one can always hope)
Great Books
Moomin DVD’s in english
Long sleeved tops/Cool T-shirts
Slippers
Colourful Tights
Charlie:
Warm socks that stays up
Warm and reasonably windproof hat
Toys that makes good sounds
A Skwish
Wooden toys
Good books
A windproof coat
I know the last post said that we just bought a boat, but, that’s not technically true. What happened was that the day after i wrote the last post Roland and Barbara went to see Maureen and Peter and they suddenly wanted more money for it and stuff. Long story short, it looked like it wouldn’t happen, but then Roland got the idea that he might still buy it as a work space for him with the financial aid of his brother, Laurence. I’m totally in love with the place so I’d live there if we buy it. So it looks like it might happen after all, just with a different twist
I am happy that there is an option to leave you a message, because it gives me a way to reach out and say, you have deeply touched my life. I often log onto your site to see the photos you have taken; they are so inspiring. They remind me of how good it is to be alive. For this magic, I thank you. Although you have no idea who I am or why I feel this way, suffice to say that they move me deeply. Thank you for sharing some of your self with this interface, it really is a gift. I mean this sincerely. Often, we have no idea how much we make a difference in life, to life. This is just my way of saying, you make a difference. Big time. Because the butterfly flapped its wings, the wind changed over the southern sea, and my ship sailed for a new horizon.
Oh my god! I thought no one read this except my family in Norway… Thank you so much for your wonderful words. I might update it a bit more often now^^
So who are you and were does your ship sail?
It’s funny: I also want a dressing gown for Christmas and some warm slippers that are full of comfort. I also want a Charlie! But that is another story, with a plot that is not yet writ. In my heart, dream, yes; but not in my belly. To answer your question about who I am and my life upon the sea, I hope that you will understand when I reply: I am no-one, faceless, nameless and of no substance. I do not like to be visible, my solace comes to me in the comforting embrace of a life lived in the shadows. There I can be undisturbed and free. I am not spooky, I am normal. Lost at sea and happy. I tried being visible once, and it didn’t work out. Right now, I am just a voice in the darkness, to you, to others, but nothing more than that, and as such I am safe to express my inner me without restraint. That way what you see of me, will be made up by you, and will be a far better representation than any details could provide you with. Have you ever got a piece of play-dough, set an alarm for 15 minutes, then closed your eyes and moulded with your hands a human body? When the alarm goes off, stop and open your eyes. Time for tea now, with jam on hot buttered toast. Apricot today, because I want to taste the colours of autumn.

I tried sending you an email, but it didn’t seem to work. Do you have a functional e-mail address?
