Rollag School

This is Rollag School. It is an elementary school. I spent my first six years at school in those buildings, from the age of seven to thirteen. I have lots of good memories from this place! :o)

Snow on Vrågå


This picture is from May 17th too. Notice how green it is, and how the trees and bushes are blooming...and the new snow on the top of the hill. It's a beautiful view, but we really don't want that snow now! We want summer! ;o)

The hill with snow on is called Vrågå.

My Dad took this picture! :o)

More from the parade


It must have been very cold to play in the corps yesterday!

The local newspaper has 20 more pictures from the celebration in Rollag here.

Photo: by my aunt.

Hurra!!


Happy Birthday, Norway! :o)

Today is May 17th! The Norwegian Constitution Day, and all over Norway, children's parades with flags and banners have formed the central elements of the celebration. :o)

Today was the coldest May 17th in 50 years in this part of Norway. Its been a cold, snowy and rainy day in Rollag. Notice how the new snow covers the hill behind the parade! Brrrr...

My aunt took this picture of the children's parade in Veggli.

On fire

Last week the parish in Rollag arranged a voluntary work-evening, to fix the old cemetery by Veggli church. Volunteers from the fire brigade burned down all the old grass and vegetation in a controlled fire.

You can slightly see the church through the smoke.

My aunt took this picture. :o)

Stabbur


A "stabbur" is a house on a farm. It is built in wood, and raised from the ground by pillars to avoid the access of rodents.

Today has been a very warm and sunny day - the summer has arrived Rollag!! :o)

A May evening


Sorry about the silence this week! I have been to Barcelona for a couple of days, and then I had a lot to do at work.

I am going to Rollag this weekend, (as some of you may have read in my first post, I don't live there right now), and I promise you only new pictures for the next days! ;o)

I wish you all a nice weekend!
