A new year is approaching and I do hope it will be an even better one than 2022. “Takk for det gamle”/Thank you for the old one, as we say to each other when the new year approaches in Norway! It is a good custom, in my opinion to thank friends and family for making the year richer, and so much better. So thank you for following me this year, and I wish you a happy and healthy new year! I hope it will be a peaceful year with the Corona virus under control and disappearing all together. I also hope that it will be a year that bring you all lots of happiness and shared pleasures!

Stay safe and well!
