The workshop setting, overlooking the sea, could not have been more beautiful. Wild blueberries and raspberries were ripe for picking. Fin, Minke and Humpback whales fed on capelin under the coastal cliffs nearby. While we were working on the construction, two moose came out of the forest to graze in the open land at the edge of the village.
