Skogsvei eller alle? / Forest road or avenue?
Når vi en gang kjøpte eiendommen i Sverige opplevde vi vår skogsvei som en alle siden trær sto på rad og rekke langs oppkjørselen. Familie og venner lo godt og korrigerte oss i en vennskapelig tone at nei, dette er nok ikke en alle, men en skogsvei. Siden den gang har vi kalt den skogsveien vår, for den er vel egentlig en mellomting. En gang i tiden har noen eiere plantet trær i en alle, men etter hvert som de ble gamle har noen falt fra mens andre, viltvoksende varianter har vokst seg til. For oss spiller det jo ikke noen stor rolle, for vi er glad i vår skogsvei uansett.
Her kommer noen bilder fra den nå i vinterskrud. When we bought our Swedish holiday home we felt the trees along the driveway formed an "avenue" (My understanding of an avenue has always been somewhat different than this word, since avenue is trees in a line along a street in Norwegian. Not sure if you english speakers get the same feel of this word?)
Anyway, friends and family laughed hartily when saying; "This is not an avenue, but a forest road". And I guess the fact is the road is a mix of both. Once upon a time previous owners planted trees to form an avenue, but as time has passed by, some of the original trees died while wild- growing ones have grown up in their and other places. In our opinion it is no big deal what we call it, we love the forest road no matter what.
Here are some pictures of it dressed in winter white.

Ha en fortsatt fin Førjulstid!
Enjoy the Christmas spirit!
Tenk å traske opp den skogsvei-alleen, da - på julebesøk... Nydelig!
SvarSlettDere kan jo kombinere alternativene og kalle den en skogsallé? Nydelig er den uansett navn :)
SvarSlettTakk for fine innspill Ninni og Helga Sofie :-) Tenk at jeg ikke kunne komme på det åpenbare selv!? Fra nå av heter den skogsaleen vår! ;-)
