Miss T is still in Sweden and Strawberry is in Norway. The white circle in the road and the gap through the trees show the border line between the two countries.
Our first stop in Norway for Norwegian "soft is"
and home made sandwiches.We took plenty of food with us as food prices in Norway tend to be a lot higher than in Sweden.

In the top plicture I take it that Miss T is being Swedish, and Freja is being Norwegian? And in the second picture I don't think you should refer to your family as Norwegian softies.
Much love, Pa and Granny.
Funny you should say that...'cause that is exactly what I said to them before I took the picture:
Now T. look Swedish ans S. try and look Norwegian.
"Soft is" is Norwegian for what in Sweden is known as "mjuk glass", whipped ice cream (?). It was the only food that we purchased in Norway, as they serve it creamier than here and smothered in drinking chocolate powder. I wouldn't dare call my other half "soft" even if both the girls do.
Actually that's not quite true... I did buy two other food stuffs that we can't get here in Sweden: Love Hearts and pork scratchings :)
Nea! You have been posting a lot more than usual! Nice photos. How far are you from the Norwegian boarder?
We are about 150 km from the border, about an hour and a half in the car, but we then travelled for another four or five hours to get to Froya.
The reason for more posts is probably because I am suposed to be grading work... and that's my least favourite part of the job so I'm putting it off as long as I dare. It's not too bad this year as I only have to set about 100 grades in Art and just 2 in English, I usually have to set quite a lot more.
I can see you are following a very sensible diet. I thought it was only my kids who ate pork scratchings:)
Hello Strawberry, I've just looked closely at the picture of you looking Norwegian, I suspect the first Norwegian you saw was serving in a Chinese take-away! You certainly achieved an impressively foreign appearance!
I think she's giving a very convincing impression of a Norwegian troll. You have to watch out for trolls in Norway you know.
Is that because of their droll sense of humour? Or because they're clumsy with matches and might start a drollocaust?
No. It's because most of them are off their trolleys anyway, and therefore completely unpredictable.
I have now posted a picture of a real Norwegian troll so that in the future you can spot the difference.
