Yesterday was the Feast of Saint Knut, the official day when the Christmas holidays are over. Away with Christmas decorations! Now there are only a few challenging months ahead filled with darkness and snowy rain like today. If only winter could stay for a few days in peace. It would be wonderful with snow in sparkling sunshine.
A highlight during Christmas was when Anna (not me) sang Christmas carols on Christmas Day in the countryside. Traditionally, I visit the church during Christmas. She had had a bit of a cough, so she chose not to sing all the songs, but we had the privilege of listening to three Christmas carols. Fantastic voice and singing with such a wide range, well known to everyone who has listened to her. I myself remembered the times I was in the school choir in the same church. If you sang a little wrong, it didn’t matter much because we were so many people singing.
I hurry to write a few lines before it is too late to share the nice, atmospheric picture below. A new year has begun, and also a new year of training for me personally. I am looking forward to going hiking in the countryside of Nepal this fall. Not to climb, but watch the beautiful mountains. And also to get a glimpse of the school in Kathmandu.
Stay safe 🐾
