The 17th of May is Norway’s Constitution day. We celebrate this by putting on our nice clothes or our traditional bunad.

Weekend at the cabin
I started the first weekend of easter with a trip to our cabin. The weather was less stunning then the rest of the week, but still ok.

Stavanger Botanical Garden
In the same area as the Ullandhaug Tower and Iron Age Farm I wrote about in my previous post is Stavanger’s Botanical garden. I like to walk here sometimes to look at the lovely flowers and plants they have.

Beach Volley and being busy
I’ve been really busy lately. As I am in desperate need of a new job I’ve been applying for a lot of jobs lately and all the application writing takes up a lot of time and even more energy. Sadly my blogging has suffered and so has most other things. I have a lot of… Continue reading Beach Volley and being busy
