Sommarøy in Norway has a very different kind of summer. Being north of the Arctic Circle, islanders live with 69 days of continuous daylight each year. With no night-time, the 300 people living there choose to live their lives without being governed by clocks. Now, they're campaigning to be declared the world's first time-free zone. Kjell Hveding is leading the campaign and says people are already painting their houses in the middle of the night - whilst the children go out to play. (Photo: Clocks on a branch on Sommarøy island.
