I hope that you have enjoyed my diary from my trip to Norway in 2014 to research for Early-Style Hardanger. I certainly enjoyed reliving it! All the posts are listed in order below so that you can check whether you missed any. Day 1 and 2 – Sydney to Oslo Day 3 – Olso to […] Utne, Bergen, Amsterdam, Abu Dhabi, Sydney 20th – 22nd May 2014 Breakfast was at 8am again. This time I was in the larger dining room as there had been about eight guests for the night. There was hot food this time, so I enjoyed some bacon. I didn’t bother with an egg. I’ve had enough […] Hardanger Folkemuseum, Utne Monday 19th May 2014 This morning breakfast wasn’t until 8am. I showered, made my lunch and tidied my stuff into my bags. I then went down to breakfast and met the only other people who stayed here last night, a couple from Hampshire. While on business in Norway about 25 years ago, […] Bergen – Utne Sunday 18th May 2014 This morning I woke a little before 4am again (can see a pattern happening there…) It was still terribly noisy on the street outside, with chattering and music.

I went on this trip in 2014, to research for Early-Style Hardanger. It was a whirlwind trip, only booked about a week and a half in advance. I realised that it was […] It’s finally here: the book trailer for Early-Style Hardanger. For those reading this in an email, the video can be found here. Please share the video with all your stitchy friends! On Friday afternoon, I headed west on the train to Lithgow, then changed to a coach service to take me out to Parkes in Central West NSW. It was a journey of about 7 hours, but it was quite relaxing. I really should have taken a little personal light with me so that I could […] Today, from 12:30pm, a large group of Norwegians and their friends and families gathered in Hyde Park, Sydney, to celebrate Norwegian Constitution Day. A man who sat next to me on the garden bed wall told me that the numbers were really down this year. Usually they get between 800 and 1000. Today I would […] |
