Soldrevet’s Ethics Statement

I want my philosophy of operating Soldrevet to be open and honest, even if I can’t share with you details about Soldrevet’s clients and customers.

Sunset at equinox

Today is 22 September 2020, which means it is autumnal equinox in Norway. For those who note the day’s passing on the calendar, equinox might mean to you that night and day are both 12 hours long. Since Marie and I moved to Norway, equinoxes have a new meaning to me. I’m using today’s equinoxContinue reading “Sunset at equinox”
