This small house on the fjord in Oslo would be an ideal writing hideaway. I see myself sitting at the window watching the world sail by, their nondescript faces blinking against the summer sun as they pass, and words filling my screen because I have nowhere to go, nothing to do but look and think and dream and write. En forfatters drøm!

  The 2015 Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square is lit and ready to ring in the New Year. What a fabulous tradition. So glad to be a part of it.
