Just had a look in the holiday pic folder and trying to decide what to show you. There's so much. Think it was Tama who asked for views of the area my parents live in. The area south of Oslo where my parents live is probably the least pretty area of Norway. Yes, it's close ot the Oslo Fjord which is the most boring fjord in Norway. And my parents live on the outskirts of a large housing estate so no pics from there. Although it is surrounded by forest. I think this pic is taken in the woods near my parents' house and here is the fjord near where they live.
And an oldfashioned style house in front of my sister's house. It's for sale at the moment.
We visited the village where we lived when Iwas aged from around 4 to 10. I think of this as the village where I grew up and I was surprised at how short a time we lived there really. But it's beautiful and right down by the fjord. We lived in a huge house with a huge, wonderful garden an a private beach. The house hsa now been knocked down and a modern house is being rebuilt which really upset me when I saw it especially as it's happened without a planning permission.
View over the village:
We walked past my old primary school which is now owned by the Fred Olsen shipping company. It didn't look quit this well maintained when I went there.
And the church next to the school where we got married.
The bridge leading up to the school:
There was a play area next to the school and Simon and the girls had fun going down the very, very fast slide. In fact the biggest laught was when Simon hit the bottom and shot off the slide flat on his back.

Thanks for the pictures! My grandfather was born in Norway, in a town called Rjukan? (not sure of the spelling). I'd love to visit Norway one day but it's a long way from British Columbia, Canada to Norway. Love reading your blog!
Thanks for sharing. It must have been a fun trip. Everything is so green, I can just feel the clean crisp air. I love the Christening Gown. What type of carrier is the baby in? I have never seen one like that. I am interested in that.
Oh Anni - what a fabulous place Norway is! For sale you say........
