I was at the local Christmas Carols in the park last night. We took our picnic along, sat with friends and enjoyed the evening in the setting sun. (Don’t forget it is summer here in Australia – it’s very different than a northern hemisphere Christmas!) I met some friends of friends.

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.
