Easter 2024
Easter is here, and there is no snow on the ground but there is still ice on the lake – Rødnessjøen. Above you see our tulips and eggs that Michael has decorated with the British Embassy (Ørje) logo he has made. We will be staying at home this Easter and I will be knitting, maybe you will too?
