Thanks Maria, this is the second video I have seen from you and I love them, refreshing to watch some who loves their homeland.... excited now on my second trip to Norway, this time Stavanger last time Bergen.... falling in love it not already in love with Norway and the people...♥

My family and I are going to visit Stavanger in October 🙂

Thoroughly enjoyed this, thanks

Your talking to me...... I'm a real person...... who lives in Southwest Washington state, USA. I love your work on here. I find you fun, easy to listen too, interesting and someone I'd like to know. I am an older person - 78 yrs young.....I don't have too many hobbies anymore except my flowers that I can't seem to give up on. It's hard to get them into planters but I enjoy the growing process. Your a lovely person and I'm happy for you and what your doing. The country's long nights and snow would get to me as we live on a steep hill which makes driving prohibiting to us in the winter. We just stay home. When we know it's coming we stock up on milk, bread, eggs, veggies to get thru the days we can't get out. So far it hasn't been to bad. We lose power here at times in winter and that has been the worst of it. So far it's been bareable. Keep your videos coming....you entertain a little old lady here and make her day brighter! Love it!, Glenda

This is so interesting. There is a gal named Sanna Varra on KZbin, she knits and since you didn't mention what you do with the yarn after your done with it and it is colored I thought I would mention her to you. She is a lovely gal, who lives in a cabin too. Very soft spoken and a kind person too. I so enjoy your posts here. There are refreshing and I love watching what you do....Blessings, Glenda

Har du allerede nesle i år også? :)

So beautiful! May God bless you <3

We call the zucchini courgettis in England, and I love them. Such joy buying new plants for your garden. I LOVE your beautiful cat. What fantastic views you have of the snow capped mountains, on your way to the garden center. xxx

Thank you, Maria, for your thoughtful introduction to Bergen. I was there for the first time last week and had the opportunity to see many of the things you mentioned in your video. I, too, fell in love with the city and badly want to go back. We even tried to get to Anna's shop, AKB Illustrations, but it must have closed a bit early the day we were there. The advice you gave to explore the tiny streets was a wonderful tip, as we really enjoyed seeing "real life" in Bergen - instead of all of the tourist places. You made our visit better, so I thank you for that!

In this video alone you spent at least 1000 kroner on food/drinks. You should mention that things cost a fortune here.

Thank you.

Lovely video! Loved all your gardens in the yard around the house! Especially your 'Secret Garden'! I for one would love to see some of Bendik's videos from Japan! Watching from Illinois in the U.S.A ❤

I thought I recognised some of the places in your intro, and I’m pretty sure at 19:01 is Gildetun, Kvænangsfjellet. My family is from Kvænangen, and I was born there, although we moved when I was pretty young. Now I live in Tromsø, but I still visit my grandmother often in Sørstraumen. It is a very beautiful place, and I definitely recommend going there in the summer. It is just incredible to go on hikes in the evenings with the midnight sun, and sometimes you can even spot reindeer from quite up close. I really enjoyed this video, it was so calming and I got really absorbed in it. Hope you had a nice trip in the north, and hope you’ll visit again! 😊

Such a pretty , quaint and charming place to live . You are so so lucky !! ❤

Garden Centre, or Nursery is what we call it in the uk lol... great vid. With the vegtable garden try putting as much organic matter as you can on it, bark chip is really good, it wont happen straight away but it will make heavy clay soil a lot lighter and compost like. A small compost heap to put all those fallen leaves in and once it's rotted down would be great for the veg patch too.

You made a really beautiful and calming video. You guys have a wonderful house and a whimsical garden. And of course the roads gliding between the mountains always amaze me in Norway. Hopefully will be visiting soon! ❤

Maria, thanks for your video guide to Stavanger, I really enjoyed it. I will be visiting on a cruise in June 2024, so it was very helpful to learn about the interesting places there.

Spring at last! It's nice to see the seasons in other regions, but I would love to see and hear about Japan as well! And I am looking forward to another tour of your garden later in summer....

As always, your video is very good from beginning to end, even better with Bendik's presence. That place in your backyard that he called his hideout is sensational, because you have an incredible view to see the sunset and the stars. That blue flower you planted reminded me of the one in your last video where you and your friends were in a park or forest.

I was so happy to see you have daffodils and also some tulips! our Spring is past now and it is like looking back at the past season where everything makes a beginning. Our April was so cold yet it didn't stop Spring from arriving in the garden as everything kept growing and so fast! We call the place you buy flowers A Garden Centre or a Nursery. Great to see the cats looking so well! Yes to clips of Japan! Greetings from Scotland Caroline

It is so beautiful there in your mountains. Thank you for sharing your journey.

Love your garden . Your trees are Beautiful. Thank you for sharing

Beautiful scenery - the mountains, your gardening projects, and, of course, the cats. Your trip to the gardening center was fun, and clips of Japan would also be most welcome. Thank you for the peek into your day-to-day activities.

🌸 yes, clips from Japan would be awesome 🌸 in Dutch you would call it a 'kwekerij' where you buy all the plants 🌸 a real treat that you brought us along on your day, showing the garden, and the beautiful environment where you live 🌸 we had some gorgeous weather too before this week, but now it is cold is and rainy again, but better weather is on the way 😊

I see this italian style lattice wall or panel in your balcony, so you can reduce strength of the wind and the sun, and grow some climbing plant on it :)

You're both an inspiration! Love you!

Wonderful to see you both looking so happy and uplifted by the Spring :) Would love to see more of B's time in Japan, but only if you have time and the inclination, obvs. Interesting to see the buildings near you painted the same 'rural red' as here in Aotearoa New Zealand, maybe it's a calming colour for cattle? Zucchinis / courgettes? Beautiful cinematography, as ever. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Hope you get basketsful of delicious vegetables. X

your birch is huge! i didn't now they can grow so big 😯 also very nice back yard 😊

Yes to the clips of Japan 🤩

Bruker videoene dine når jeg besøkte Stavanger og nå Lillehammer❤

The countryside is so green and lovely. I was glad to come along with you to beautify your garden. I also agree the joy is in the journey.💚

In Australia we call a place where you can buy lots of plants and trees a Nursery. Love your countryside.

You live in such a beautiful landscape! The mountains are breathtaking. We visited there years ago. Yes, would love to see more of Bendik’s Japan trip and his art work! Thank you Maria for another perfect video❣️🌱🌸

💘

Love you baby

😍😍great job with your garden!!!

Så mange vakre blomster! So lovely to see spring coming to Norway, also! I enjoyed your drive, showing the snow-capped mountains! I have always loved gardening, and it was great spending a few days here, also, organizing my garden. Mostly where I live we are on bedrock, so not much soil, but I find every square inch that I can, and even have a small veggie garden. Yes, please, let us see more of Bendik's Japan trip. It was interesting what you showed us, Maria. I would love to see more. Today was a beautiful day here. I envy you being able to be outdoors wearing shorts. Here I have to almost were body armour because the bugs bite so much. But today they weren't so bad. 👍 Enjoy spring! Hilsen fra Canada! 🇨🇦

Loved this video, the process, the digging, planting, showing all the flower beds you guys have made. I love that. Great job!

Hello again ☺. Just a thought 🤔. A small fine mist water spray is ideal for watering tiny seedlings. Also opening the compost bags from the top means you can recycle the bags for rubbish (waste). And the bulbs you were dividing were daffodils? Not lilies 🤔. Well at least in the UK anyway .. Sending love, light & Summer blessings to you both and the Kits 🐈🐱🐞🌹🐝🌻 xx

Wow, that month went fast, though probably not for you. I hope B had a fabulous time in Japan. Enjoy the early summer and the blooms.

In Britain it is called a Garden Centre😊

Such a beautiful place you live in, Maria! Love your garden and surroundings, looks like a paradise to me. Happy springtime! ❤️

Oh everything just looks like a dream!!!! Sending Love your way!! ♥️♥️♥️

Dere er flinke Håper å få se hvor frodig det blir etter hvert...👍

Thank both of you for sharing your beautiful garden and the enchanting views of the mountains 🎉

Nice. Happy spring and summer.

In the US we call it a plant nursery. ❤ I love your vlogs.

I live here. I love this place ❤

Disappointing that you didnt mention Stavanger Cathedral. This building is so important for the city, and is a defining structure. It is also quite beautiful, and one of the oldest buildings still standing. Great vid :)
