Spring has finally arrived and the city of Bergen looks simply splendid! There are tuilps and blossoms adding splashes of colour everywhere. Maybe photos of flowers are a little cliche but I simply could not resist showing you how pretty the city is looking! J and I have been busy working in our little garden too - cutting up old dead trees, pulling weeds, planting herbs in pots and preparing a veggie patch. Very exiciting! We have also begun a project of painting the outside of the house, just to keep things looking fresh. The landlord has agreed to pay J for some of this work, which is great - his first paid job in Norway!
We have a short week this week because the 17th of May is the National Day of Norway, and hence, a holiday. Apparently we can expect people dressed in national costume, parades through the streets, drumming competitions, lots of alcohol and plenty of sausages. Sounds a little unusual so I will be sure to post with pics after the event, when I am sure the city will look a lot less civilised than it does in these lovely spring shots! Xxxx
