We are enjoying a warm and lovely summer month in our garden when Norway is at its very best! A few weeks ago, we did an update of our garden on YouTube, which was filmed in the beginning of the season. Many have been asking us for a report on how it looks now and since pictures do say more than thousands of words, we hope you enjoy these photos, taken on July 17th, 2019:
We are sure many will react to seeing iris and lilacs in bloom in our garden in mid July, but keep in mind that we are high up in the mountains in Scandinavia and everything blooms much later here – but in return, we get to keep our flowers in bloom for so much longer periods of time too!
As we are still on a summer break, we have decided to do a re-run of one of our favourite podcasts, first published in 2018. We hope you will enjoy this! You can get the pattern for the hat here.
