Thank you very much, John: I hope that you also had wonderful holidays.
Happy New Year! 🙂
So did Santa’s elves decorate the tree? Were they able to do that because polar bears don’t eat elves?
Hehehe! Right you are, Tracy! It were the elves indeed, who sealed a pact with polar bears such that they would not eat the elves in exchange for free holiday decorations! 😉
Happy New Year!
We should write children’s whimsical-wildlife books. 😉
Hey, on second thought, that’s not a bad idea. If we only had the time, we’d have a million ideas, I’m sure.
Happy new year Stefano! Thanks for being a wonderful inspiration over the past year, it’s been great talking wine and photography together! I hope that you and Francesca have enjoyed a beautiful festive season. Blessings for 2014! x
Thank you very much, Laura!
Happy New Year to you too!
I apologize for being pretty quiet lately, but this month has been very busy for me and I definitely have to catch up on the blogging side: hopefully I will be able to do so in the next days…
Looking forward to another year of delicious food, wine and photography together! 🙂
A big hug and all the best 🙂
Wishing you a very Happy New Years and a great year ahead.
Thank you very much, Laurie!
Happy New Year to you too! 🙂

Happy New Year to you too! 🙂
Dear Stefano,
a very, very, happy, healthy and prosperous New Year to you, Francesca, the little princess and the adorable, furry litlle new member of the family! 🙂 I hope you all had lovely holidays.
Looking back on 2013 WP informed me that your guest post, http://toffeefee.wordpress.com/2013/06/14/north-of-the-wall-a-photographic-trip-to-the-far-north/
was a huge success; it’s the third most visited post in the history of my blog. Wow! 🙂
Thank you so much!
Looking forward to reading and seeing a lot of your excellent work in 2014.
Best wishes and BIG hugs from the fabulous Four,
Dina

Thank you very much, dearest Dina: same to the four of you and more!
Fairly soon you will be able to take a peek at our new “baby” 😉
Wow, thank you for sharing the stats regarding our little collaboration: they are sure impressive! I am honored and thankful for the opportunity you offered me to be a guest on your fantastic blog.
Happy New Year to the Fabulous Four: I am so happy to have you guys in our lives! 🙂
Stefano
I have to return the compliment, Stafano – we’re very, very happy to have you on board!
We sincerely hope that you are warm and fine, don’t take any risk in this frrrreeeeezing cold weather this days. How does the furry little new member of the family cope with this situation, we all wonder? We’re much much looking forward to adorable photos and a lot of fun!
Big hugs from the four of us
Dina
Dear Dina,
Thank you so much for your kind comment!
Temperatures have been real cold around here (but then again, I think not worse than a regular Norwegian winter!) but we have been fine. As someone once said to me: there is no such thing as cold weather, only inadequate clothing 🙂 Sofia on the other hand has seemed to cope just fine with the cold temperatures: she enjoyed rolling in the snow or dipping her muzzle in it and running around like crazy – then after a while she would dart home at the speed of light, which must be a sign that she was getting cold 🙂 She really is a lot of fun.
Big hugs right back at you!
Stefano
Sorry to be so late with this – Happy New Year to you and yours! I hope you have a wonderful year ahead. 😀
Thank you very much, Jackie!
All the very best for the New Year to you too! 🙂
