I enjoyed your story about the troll Clare, although I felt rather sorry for him in the end! Glad you had a window of opportunity to do some sketching. Will have to compare notes on Norway and Iceland when there is a moment to spare!

Hi Angela - I felt rather sorry for him also! He worked so hard for the boy and was fooled. The landscape in Norway is so beautiful. We definitely need to get together for a catch up and maybe to do some sketching together. 💜

Sketching sounds like a good plan. I got the book on still life by the way, by Amber Cresswell Bell. You are welcome to borrow it any time. Hopefully catch up on Friday.

Thanks for sharing that story Clare, I never knew Norway had such a troll mythology, can’t wait to see the pics and the paintings of your trip away 🥰

There are trolls everywhere in that part of the world and fascinating tales of trolls, fairies and giants in the vast mountains and forests. 🧚😳

May be you should think about writing a book Clare. You recounted the story beautifully.

I enjoyed your post, photos and your folktale, Clare. On reflection I will not be trolling you!
