There could not have been a more perfect timing for Christmas!!!
For me though it is not of any religious significance, it is still a high point in the middle of the winter that not only makes me deal with the ice and the cold and the freezing tempertaures, but makes them enjoyable too.
Today at minus 14C I was walking out in the Jul Marked( Christmas Market) arranged every year in the walking street of Oslo and I definetely need a Christmas and its festive fervor to live through the cold dark winter days,
Red Vanilla Glazed apples
cheese with that little extra, and figs withBalsamico
Fresh caramelised almonds
and ofcourse the winter wear.
