A blog about daily life in Bergen, Norway. We moved here in 2010 due to work commitments (my husband's). Now having survived the first winter I feel able to write about the place without too much negativity! it is amazing how a lack of light, freezing temperatures and general horrid weather drain creativity!! I've learnt Norwegian, and work part time - so this really is living in Bergen!

One of those days ...
Hmm, autumn is here. Have just suffered a wet weekend and now Monday seems to be more of the same! Now you remember why you have 2 sets of wet weather gear in he cupboard - 1 drying whilst you put the other on to go shopping!
All this rain means hydro electricity is really cheap here - well it would be if the EU allowed Norway to sell at the rate it wants too. Due to EU competition laws that would be seen to be an unfair advantage for the rest of the Union, so we still have to pay the highly inflated tariffs imposed on all countries within the EU - and yes, you are right Norway is not even a member!
OK on with the Souwester and wellington boots - am snorkelling off to town!
