	Another variation of Martin's shirt, tie and boxer short, presents from Tanya, and Martin's sister, Jorunn. Note the English flag (not Union Jack) on the boxer short. A la mode according to Tanya. Waiting for Jorunn to arrive, Tanya stands underneath the frosty trees next to a church.

	More storytelling about the trip. Bobby, an imported spaniel from England.
	Next to the bus stop was this fantastic ice sculpture. A very dynamic one. Back at Vestskogen, Tanya went for a walk down to the sea some 500 meters from the house watching the sunset.
	Tanya in the sunset. The buildings at shore.
	The only company Tanya had was this lonely swan.
The pictures below were taken on New Year's Ever, Sunday 31st at Martin's office corner. Martin is playing with his new tool, a LCD screen of 27". Fun.
