Preparation

My girl is ill.  She is trying to recuperate by watching Disney films.  So in between administering calpol and feeding my boy I'm trying to work on the business plan for our hopeful move to Norway.

I went to the pub last night  and did a bit of market research on our yurt / glamping idea.  Think the biggest issue won't the cold (yurts will be very well insulated), but bathroom facilities.  Need to think about where to situate them.  Have to say that the idea of walking to the bathroom through the snow and possible sub zero temperatures doesn't do it for me! Seen one company who have what looks like garden sheds in their yurts for the loo block - looks a bit strange - could we have a pod or a yurt-let?

Back to planning things I suppose - head is full of company names, websites, excitement at trip to Bergen, but also mummy worries about my girl.

I've been really busy

We've had a few difficult weeks, hence no posts, but we've not rested on our laurels.
We're off to Bergen in a couple of weeks to have a bit of a holiday, but also to look at houses!  Well that was the plan but the one that we both really love is no longer for sale.  
Still we've got a little apartment in Bergen for a few days, although we do arrive ridiculously late in the evening to we're staying in a hotel - always fun in one room with small children!

Jim has printed out lots of house details and has been in touch with some Norwegian estate agents, and shown his dad the details too.  He seems to think we're mad!

We've got so many ideas about what to do, but not the funds.  Apart from winning the lottery, I'm sure how we're going to achieve this dream.
