STORY
Join us as we journey to the beautiful country of Norway, filled with stunning landscapes and hidden gems. Our exploration led us to an abandoned white house, once home to the enigmatic Sandvik family whose deep connection to the forestry industry shaped their unique legacy. As we discover the secrets behind this forgotten home, we'll uncover the tragic tale of Peter, the latest heir to run the family business, who found solace in his passion for trekking through Norway's breathtaking scenery after the loss of his beloved wife Annie. Meanwhile, Ayla, Peter's daughter and inheritor of the house, has chosen to let it fall into neglect for the past 15 years. Join us as we delve into the captivating lives of these individuals and the mysterious history of this isolated corner of the world.

I will never understand why the children don't take care of things after their parents pass. His diaries for goodness sake! How could she care so little to just leave them there to rot? So sad!

@lindatimmons3675 24 күн бұрын

I know . Yes it is sad.

@theshag8564 24 күн бұрын

I think its mainly a case of people not having enough time or not caring. For example My grandfather owned a cabin that is full of stuff but after he passed it is left abandoned months at a time because my family cant take care of it. My aunts live out of state and my father doesn't have time due to work. I try my best to preserve stuff there but I am only able to visit for a day or 2 every 4 or 5 months or so due to collage. Im also pursuing a degree in history so I have a reason for caring about the history of the place while most people just don't care or have more pressing issues in their life.

Those glass prints would take a several minutes to develop so that’s the reason most people didn’t smile back then in their pictures, and it was also considered an important event and you didn’t want to look silly. Cameras didn’t do well with movement in the beginning it would turn blurry, so easier to hold a straight face than a smile. Probably a combo of both reasons.

My great-grandmother was from Oslo Norway, and she left for the USA 🇺🇸 for a better life. Sadly, her husband died and left her to raise 5 children alone! She never remarried, and she had to work several jobs to feed her children. She was a lovely lady and lived to 98 years old! She passed away in 1979, and I've always wondered what her life was like in Norway. If you go to Oslo, I hope to see what it looks like there. Maybe you can film a bit of the town? Also, she was terrified of bridges because she believed that trolls lived under them!!😂 Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! I look forward to seeing a video in Oslo!!❤

A truly emotional interesting life story about love and family values! Despite his terrible loss,Peter stayed true and committed to his family until the end. The paintings are lovely and the family photos show the deep connection he had with his loving wife and daughter. The entire place evokes harmony and joy. It's a pity all those family items are left to rot away. Thank you,Lesley and Danny for this wonderful journey into the past!

Some people have a family that dies out and when they die themselves there is often no one to bequeath the property to. Sad. When it's our time to go(me and my wife) we will leave our property to family that wants it.

The two wooden models, both the one at the entrance to the house and the one on the upper floor, represent the typical Nordic church in rural areas of both Sweden and Norway for centuries. The one at the entrance even has decorative crosses distributed on the exterior roofs.

Very sad and interesting tour of this home. I live the Pacific Northwest in US and there is a connection between our area and the timber workers of Norway. Many came to the US and to the forests of the PNW to work. Their wives joined them and they often lived in timber camps in very rugged conditions. It was hard work and very much a struggle for young men and families. Many were seriously injured or died doing the work. My dad was a logger and you had to be strong and energetic to do that kind of work. Norwegian people contributed a great deal to settling Washington and Oregon.

Lesley the front area of the house where the wooden church ⛪️ looking thing we call a boot 👢 room in US. Its a place where you take off muddy or snowy❄️ boots. It also keeps the cold out of main house when people open door to come in . I assume people of Norway 🇳🇴 build their homes with that area for those reasons.

Also at 31 minutes in the book is called Juleglede, meaning Christmas Cheer, glede, like glad in English. And Kong Haakon bonbons are very typical and popular to buy for Christmas.

Im having trouble watching these films you two make everyweek. Im not a old man but my life is almost done on earth. Its very sad to see the end of so many lives in these films you two do such a good job showing. Who knows what went on in these peoples lives. Where they happy, were they terrible lonely. Are they just waiting for the end to come. I heard somewhere that the native americans said to take there photo was to steal there soul. I wonder if that might be true. The photo is a second of that time never to happen again ever. So many photos have been taken of time of life of so many its hard to even contamplate. The photos we make today to most in the future will mean nothing at all. Who know why we are here to live good, bad, happy or sad great or rotten lives. I hope everyone will know some day why this had to be like this. We are not at this time to know why we all must go through life this way . All I know is that with all of our suffering the Lord Jesus Christ must have a incredible plan for us.
