Stasjonsfruene

Three happy ladies launched "Stasjonsfruene" (the station wives) cafe in the old railway station in Rollag just before Christmas. It's open four days a week, and the place is very popular. I was there today and ate a delicious homemade chicken soup! :o)

Daphne mezereum

I found this Mezereon (Tysbast in Norwegian) in the wood yesterday. 

It's a very beautiful flower, with a very nice scent. But it's also very toxic! If poisoned, victims experience a choking sensation. Handling the fresh twigs can cause rashes and eczema in sensitive individuals. Despite this, it is also commonly grown as an ornamental plant in gardens for its attractive flowers. 

So look, but do not touch! :o)
