We went for a lovely walk in Folk Park near Harstad centre today which looks very Christmassy with all the snow and hidden Christmas trees too!
Snow in Papay when it rarely falls disappears almost as quickly as it arrives with temperatures mostly above freezing so we aren't used to thick coverings of it and as a result we turn in to big kids! Unlike kids though we do get cold, it does hurt to fall over and we appreciate the snow most from the warmth inside the boat!
Here is a few photo's and videos from our wanderings today!

 |
| Over night the whole area is covered in a blanket of snow, pavements and roads merge in to one |

| Snow replaces leaves, creating Christmas card like scenes |
 |
| One of the many Christmas decorations around Harstad, this particular one is a metal tree covered in lights (Good idea for Papay!) |
