Wish you a great summer too sweeties including Freja. See you in August❤️
Thank you guys I wish you happy holidays too. Hope Freya enjoys her holiday. I will be driving around Norwich England in my jalopy (my mobility scooter) as can’t travel any more. Have a great time what ever you do. Be safe and take care of each other. Sending you much love 😍 xx
Here’s hoping your Summers better than our UK one. Enjoy 😘
I wish you all a great summer too and will be looking forward to see you in August again. I really like your video’s and tutorials.
What a lovely hotel. And so easy to make. I will ask my husband to make one for our garden.
Wish you also a good holiday.
Regards, Marianne
You two are so clever! Have a happy and relaxing month and thank you for sharing all that you share.
Happy summer to you too! Enjoy life together every day and be happy. I hope your guesthouse for insects will become as famous as you two are, so there will be many more build in many gardens. Bye from chilly Netherlands.
Have a great time, guys. Hope you will be staying in a bigger and even better appointed hotel yourselves!
Your website keeps saying there’s space on the garden tour but the link says registration deadline has passed. I’m interested in going!
Please contact the travel agency directly and maybe they can accommodate you, here is an email address you can write to: bfb@connections.no
How wonderful! I really enjoy your videos as they are so much fun and always so interesting. I learn something new each time and always feel light hearted on viewing your videos. Your joyous energy and humour is infectious. Have a lovely summer! I am sure the insects and bees will appreciate their 5 star accomodation!
ONe of the great gardens in UK is Geoff hamiltons Gardens. I think you would enjoy that also Chatsworth house.
Thanks for your tips! We’ve been to Chatsworth House and love it! The landscape is stunning. We will for sure check out Geoff Hamiltons Gardens some time we are in the UK!
Wishing you a safe and pleasant holiday
I have recently started watching your videos and listening to your podcasts. I must say I love them. You are both so relatable (Arne, you are adorable in an aww shucks kind of way). I am hoping to learn the Norwegian technique of knitting. I’ve been trying but old habits die hard. You both (and Freya of course) have a wonderful relaxing holiday away from your beautiful home and gardens. I hope someday to meet you, maybe on a fabulous Norwegian knitting cruise ( major hint to hubby). Take care.
Have a safe and wonderful summer!
Love your video on the “Insect Hotel” idea. I burst out laughing at the presentation on the accommodations . Love seeing your country it’s so beautiful and of course I’m here for the knitting and crocheting info You guys are great!
Have a great summer and trip in the US. Look forward to my Arne and Carlos…not forgetting Freya fix when you return.😊
Best wishes to you.
have an inspirational, invigorating, & inimitable interlude. 🌓🌒🌑🌘🌗🌖🌕
I am a beginner knitter and want to knit your Vidar & Vigard Jumpers. I am between sizes and was wondering how much ease is in this pattern.
Also, I love the checkered socks featured in your reinforced heel pattern. Do you know where I can get the checkered sock pattern?
