Helen invited Magnus and Anniken and Marcus and Matthias over for tea today. We thanked Magnus for his route recommendations on our trip up North
Anniken and I chatted about films and TV , she is a nurse and is due to return to work beginning of August after major hip surgery. Marcus and Mattias are going to their maternal grandmother's for the weekend tomorrow ( schools break up today in Norway) enabling.Magnus and Anniken to go to a local weekend country folk festival in Elverum where they live.
In the afternoon prior to their arrival , Andy and I walked around Sorsassjoen lake (5km) and Andy went for a short swim afterwards. I decided not to, as I was feeling shy. A large party of young students were on the beach having a barbeque to celebrate their end of term.
Pleasant catch up with Magnus and Anniken over tea Watched the man baling grass outside with fascination
He worked late. Helen and HK have been fantastic generous and knowledgeable and hosts. It's the very busiest time for them and yet they have made sure we were fed watered and saw family members. They will not be forgotten It's not been the journey itself most memorable for me , it's the people .
