The honey Frank brought Brekke was delicious!

And about as local as local gets!

The locals are happy to help them build their place at a reasonable rate, though as this IS an Island, stuff besides wood might be pricier. Or would be... after all, they have a daughter who can fill a cargo full of material and bring it

This is an excellent idea, once one or the other of them thinks of it. "I am overdue to speak with her, regardless," Brekke points out as she seeks out her phone.

A call... and her daughter picks up "Mor?"

"Siv." Brekke's voice carries the hint of her smile with it.

"Mom! How are you? how's da? I.. oh need to let you get a word in edge wise"

Frank, seated on the floor, watches Brekke make the call.

A quiet rumble of amusement. "We are well. We have some land and are beginning to prepare for building."

Oak leans against Frank while they wait

"I think you would like it. Do you have time for a visit?"

"That's great" Siv answers "I hope it's not too far from water I can 'park at'?"

"It is on an island. The water is not far, and we will meet you at the shore." She gives a bit more information for Siv to 'navigate' by.

Siv listens and says "Ah! That'll be grand, and... come to think of it, if it's where I'm guessing, you should have some gorgeous scenery"

"We do, but..." a puzzled tone "...I did not think you knew this area well enough to have a guess about it."

"I don't exactly, but Sylvi has... and I have google maps"

Another amused sound. "I see. Well, when can we hope to see you?"

"Well, we're prepping for Pennons pretty hard, but I can take time. Missed you guys fiercely and the kids are growing whenever I turn my back."
