It’s been awhile but hei hei from Norway! 🇳🇴 As my work @holmenlofoten includes social media my personal posting has dropped off. Screen fatigue is very real but as I also enjoy seeing your posts thought I’d share a few pics from yesterday’s visit to the Viking Festival here in Lofoten and a recipe. Maintaining restraint around buying yet more yarn, I bought a kilo of honey instead. The thin justification being a sore throat but also a great love for something that’s older than records can measure which tastes directly of its environmental source. This one an absolute beauty. Fully perfumed with spring / summer mountain blossoms. In raking through my old weekly recipes that I used to have published weekly in The West Australian, now over a decade ago, I found this one. A juicy gem of chicken recipe. Here it is again. I hope you enjoy it: SAFFRON, ROSEMARY, HONEY & LEMON ROASTED CHICKEN.

It’s impossible to cram everything seen, felt an It’s impossible to cram everything seen, felt and laid to memory over a recent trip to the far north of Norway in a 30 second Reel, but here’s an attempt. It started with another visit to the Viking Museum @lofotrvikingmuseum. Seeing the volunteers in costume busy with crafting daily essentials makes me want to find a tardis. Onto Kabelvåg for The Espolin Gallery prior to boarding the Hurtigruten Coastal Express @hurtigruten in Svolvær bound for Kirkenes. Farewelled by the 4.5 metre tall ‘Fiskerkona’ sculpture depicting a fisherman’s wife scanning the Vestfjord. After a narrow passage into the famous Trollfjord, the ship docked at several ports along the magnificent fjord-filled coastline. Mostly cloaked in low cloud until Honninsvåg. Europe’s northernmost town. Disembarking early on a Sunday morning, Kirkenes lay dormant apart from a memorial board for killed Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny positioned directly opposite the Russian Consulate. From the Russian border, wide, open birch-forest and swampy covered lands ushered the drive through Finland back into Norway for a night’s stay in Karajsok. Home of the Sámi Parliament of Norway and Sámi Museum featuring beautiful examples of Sámi duodji (hand-craft). Onto Alta to see 2000 to 6200 year old rock carvings showing the life of hunters and fishermen and a memorable night’s stay at Trasti & Trine @trastiogtrine Back to Tromsø and then onto Senja. Norway’s second largest island with sky-scrapping mountains, spectacular fjords and small communities where a late fish & chip dinner at The Fat Cod @campsteinfjord deliciously sated an hours-long hunger. Driving further south, an impromptu visit to @ekoloialen led to an invitation for a picturesque walk into the woods to a family cabin followed by a final stay in Henningsvær. A journey that covered many impressions of great contrasts and a test for a new old vehicle, recently purchased.

Something had to give. Again. Adjusting to an extr Something had to give. Again. Adjusting to an extremely different climate and the opposite season doesn’t mean just putting on thermals or turning on the aircon. It takes time. During which, I’ve learnt, it’s easy to catch a cold. Fortunately this one’s not too heavy. Nonetheless, it takes less time to decide to make chicken soup than it does ripping the first tissue from the box. So here it is with no shortage of dill, fennel seed, parsley, garlic and lots of black pepper. For once, I prefer no carbs. Just the herbiest, umami-rich well-seasoned broth with the chicken and veg. This one served in a beautiful @rokkvikaporselensfabrikk bowl. Healing for the body and the eyes. Gesundheit #chickensoup #chickensoupforthesoul
