Images of the The Green Man can be found bedecking buildings throughout western Europe and noone knows where they originated. In a quest for his origins The Green Man has come to Norway visit a likely birthplace. Well that is not quite correct, The Green Man has actually come to Norway primaryily to visit the future rather than the past.

Number one grandson has brought his parents to live in Norway and we are over to visit. In a move that some could regard as insightful in a 17 month old he has chosen the delightful coastal town of Sandefjord. Situated in 2 hours drive south of Oslo its protected coastal location means that it is spared some of Norways harsher weather with winters only dropping to -70C unlike other parts of Norway where it gets cold.

It is summer now however and the weather is mild and the days are long. After a week settling in The Green Man is off in search of trolls so expect some posts and pictures if The Green Man gets around to it.
