Hello chaps and chapesses!
Earlier this month Graeme and I went on holiday to Norway
for a week. It was gorgeous, Norway is
such a beautiful place, and the weather was fantastic – it was warm and sunny
practically every day we were there! Getting home was a bit of a nightmare, but overall we had a lovely holiday.
It reminded me a little bit of Enid Blyton's Famous Five books, which I used to love when I was a kid, because Norway's the perfect place to go exploring in the forest, swimming in the lake, fishing for crabs, and generally adventuring - we did all of these things while we were there. So if, like me, you read the Famous Five books and wished you could have adventures like them, look no further - you need to go to Norway in the summer.
If you’re thinking it seems like an unusual choice for a
summer holiday, we chose there because Graeme’s brother lives there with his
family, so we stayed with them. Staying
with family meant we had an even more relaxing holiday, as it was really informal and
laid-back.
All in all it was a lovely, relaxing week away from
home. The highlights were:
- getting a lot of holiday reading done (look out for some more posts coming soon on what I read)
- visiting Lindesnes, the southernmost (and quite possibly the windiest) town in mainland Norway
- trying grilled moose steak and deer sausages at a family barbecue
- cycling back from the nearest town, Mandal, and being chased along the road by an excited dog
- sitting at an old fortress in Kristiansand, watching the boats coming in and out of the harbour
- getting an Actual Tan (this never happens to me, my skin repels the sun)
- an outdoor live music concert – apparently these are a free, weekly event during the summer
