Another Norwegian National Day celebrated abroad! This year I spent it in the company of several other Norwegians, having champagne and strawberries in the park, singing Norwegian songs. It's incredible how nationalistic you become when you're abroad! On our repetoir yesterday was both Fagert er landet, Fedrelandssongen, Nordlandssalmen and Norge i Rødt, Kvitt og Blått, amongst others.
In the afternoon we went to Fulford Arms which is run by a Norwegian and her English boyfriend. There they had cakes and a barbeque, a Norwegian quiz and of course "potetløp"!
It was a lovely day, not unlike a Norwegian 17th of May with varying weather; 16-17 degrees celsius, sunshine and a couple of showers!
