Hello, Norway...

I don't often look at my blog statistics (honest), but lately I can't help noticing a very odd development, and I wonder if anyone can throw any light on it. The greatest number of my pageviews come, as they have done for a long time, from the United States, and they still do - but snapping at the heels of the US now is, er, Norway. Norway (from its tiny population) yields me over 50 percent more readers than the United Kingdom and, if present trends continue, might soon overtake even the United States. I have no idea why this should have happened: as far as I can make out, my review of the Peder Balke exhibition - and a mention of another Norwegian painter, Frits Thaulow - have been my only forays into Norwegian waters. Maybe Balke was enough...
 Anyway, thank you, Norway - and if any of my Norwegian readers feel like getting in touch, please do.
