Witsun at the cabin
I spent this Whitsun at our summer-house. The weather was not the best when I drove in after work on friday, but the rain wasn’t too bad. I woke up quite early on saturday and after a nice long breakfast I drove to Jørpeland, the nearest small town. I picked up some groceries we forgot,… Continue reading Witsun at the cabin

Photos from Yesterday – I’m a survivour!
I survived the 17th of May. All the marching, playing, the rain and sunshine.

First of, at the same day I was born 26th of April 1986, the terrible Chernobyl disaster occurred. Everyone was scared… Continue reading The Year I Was Born 1986
Happy Liberation Day!
Today is Liberation Day in Norway. It’s not celebrated as much as our Constitutional Day, 17th of May. But this year it’s the 70 year anniversary for the end of the Germans 5 year-long occupation of Norway during World War 2. It’s a good feeling seeing the flags waving in the wind knowing how lucky… Continue reading Happy Liberation Day!
