Lilu wants to join Pappa in making snow angels. She dives face first into the snow – doh!
Not to worry, she has three more months of snow to get it right.
And licking off the snow is just as fun!
Today herding reindeer is synonymous with the Sami culture. It is recently thought that the Vikings were the first people to herd reindeer.
Towards the water in a beautiful pocket of leafy oak trees is the Byneset Church.
Celebrate National Fårikål day with us. On the last Thursday of September every year Norway celebrates their national dish with, of course, all you can eat fårikål!

Many English words actually come from old Norse language – brought by Vikings to England in medieval times. Here are some words you have probably uttered without realising you are speaking Norwegian!
The further ‘out of the way’ you go the more common it is to see folk cottages standing by the side of roads, along fjords or in a thicket of trees, minding their own business.

So cute, and that snow looks rather luxurious and fluffy as far as snow goes! Might get my own chance to make snow angels next week if the British weather reports are to be believed. Thanks for sharing some Norwegian snow with us.

from L-Jay:
The snow has been pretty thin up until last week – just in time for the Sami reindeer racing through the city centre!
Several years ago our family took a trip to Norway in late January…an unforgettable experience for all 23 of us, but our 6 year old grandaughter, born and raised in sunny Florida asked, “Grandma, can I make sand angels in the snow?” Fortunately she had plenty of chances starting in Oslo, then Bergen and all the way up to Nordkap. For these children the experience of snow, northern lights and the concept of very short daylight hours as well as dogsledding near Tromso created special memories.
I love snow angels! How fun that Moose and you can join in with the children.
Blessings,
