Norway 2012: Svelvik

Sunday 10th June.

Another special day today.


Bjørn and Odd organised a luncheon with all my Norwegian relatives. It was really overwhelming. We were being looked after so well.

 


The food was really yummy.


Everyone was able to produce photos, it was great.


When mum went to Norway with dad, just after the war, Betty (in the blue shirt) was a young girl and she and mum became life-long friends through an act of kindness from mum. Another aspect of mum and dad's lives that left me with a whole new appreciation of them.



Betty put a photo of mum and dad on the table looking over the afternoon's proceedings which was so thoughtful. I'm glad mum and dad were there.




 My Norwegian family.


Such a good day.
