Aboret

Temp +10, sunny

It is still amazing weather, the buds on the trees are bursting, the bulbs are all out, and IKEA can't get the outdoor furniture out fast enough! The farmers are very busy ploughing and muck spreading, and almost every household has pruned some bush or tree. We are spending lots of time outside. The newspapers have 'Drømme Påske' (dream Easter) as their headlines.

We have Granny visiting so I feel like I am having a break and the children are loving the extra attention. Next week we are planning to join in the Norwegian traditional Easter pursuit and go skiing.

Today after swimming we headed off to the Rogaland Arboret (arboretum) for a picnic, Naomi walked happily around without the buggy and found so much to play with. Rocks, sticks, mud, ducks to feed, houses in the trees etc etc.
