I'm trying my best to get this blog back up and running but I just don't understand the problem. I don't know why I don't appear in anyones dashboard and I don't know how to fix it. I'm going to email and post in forums and beg for help, so fingers crossed this blog will make a comeback.
I've just set up a tumblr for this blog, so those of you who use tumblr can now find me at thelittlenordiccabin.tumblr.com, where I'll be posting pictures and all kinds of Nordic things I find around the web.
Please do a ritual dance for the blog-gods to make my blog work again!
It's been ever such a long time again, hasn't it? How have you all been? What have you been doing? I miss your updates!
I have been a very busy bee, working with my new project, The International Feminist Book Club as well as becoming an admin on the group Females of the World, an online collection of art, photography and writing from around the world, contributed to us by our followers. We're hosting our first giveaway over there shortly, so if this group sounds interesting to you, pop along and see what we're all about! https://www.facebook.com/femalesoftheworld
Oh Land, a Danish singer whom I love, has just released her new album, Wishbone. She sings in English and you can see her singing and dancing here:
I'm planning to return here soon with lots of new posts. I'll be starting up my Sunday Writing Prompts again, as well as lots of Nordic loveliness including recipes, music, literature and more!
Arriving in Oslo only 2 weeks after the tragedy that occurred on Utøya, we often sought comfort and reassurance in the beautiful landscape. Following the terrorist attack was a harsh and dark winter. Finding beauty in the wake of devastation is challenging, but Oslo has so much to offer: glittering snow in the few hours of sunlight each day, islands that transport you to a fantasy world, and breath-taking views of the fjords and the ocean are among the many treasures that surround Oslo and its inhabitants. The strength of the Norwegian people is even more inspiring than the landscape, and the combination of beauty and strength within the country grew more and more striking with each passing season.
Calling all aspiring writers!
I'm currently working with a group called Females of the World. We're looking for writers who are interested in submitting a short piece of writing to use in our online projects. It can be anything from a poem to a short story to a journalistic article. We'd love to hear from you! This is a great opportunity to brave a growing audience with a piece of your work! Any experience is good experience, right? :)

Let us begin with a tip. Do not think you can wing not charging your phone before a long journey. Such things cannot be, um, wung.
It's 5am and I'm sitting in a little cafe in Gatwick, finally charging my phone and filling up with a delicious breakfast. I've slept maybe 2 hours in total, sharing a bench with a snoring Spaniard. Happily I made friends with a Norwegian lady and got to practice my Norwegian!
Now it's time to wait for my plane. And perhaps a teeny bit more shopping!
Oh! Last night we drove along a beautiful harbour which was sparkling in the most perfect sunset. I'll see if i can upload pictures here :)
