Pause / Break
Druene fra drivhuset er kommet på fatet og skal nytes sammen med kjeks og ridderost, og i glasset er det noen gode dråper hjemmelaget.
Glassfatet er laget av Elisabeth Skartland. http://www.elisabethsglass.com/
Most of the packing is done and it's time to relax a little, the rest will be done tomorrow.
The grapes from the greenhouse are there on the glass plate with some Norwegian Ridderost (a very tasty cheese) and some bisquits. In the glass you'll find some nice, homemade drops.
The glass plate is made by Elisabeth Skartland. http://www.elisabethsglass.com/
Min lilje hørte... / My lily heard...
Tomorrow I'm going away on holiday for two weeks. I felt it was rather a pity that I'd miss seeing these lilies coming out,and I said so when I went for a walk in the garden. They must have heard me, just look here.
Store knopper,vil de sprette ut?
Big buds, will they come out?
En forsiktig start. Tør jeg dette da?
A careful start. Do I dare this?
Jo da, se på meg, jeg gjør det....
Oh yes,look at me, I'm doing it....
Syns du jeg jeg er vakker?
Do you think I'm beautiful?
Jeg sprer mine kronblader og tar imot alt det solskinnet jeg kan.
I spread my petals and receive as much sunshine as I can

Tilbake til 60-tallet / Back to the Sixties
If you've been living for a while like me,you most probably remember this type of hat.I remember my mother made one for me in the first half of the sixties. It was pale yellow and had a loop and a button under the chin. A few days ago I found a pattern (a new one)of a hat like this,I changed it a bit, and here's the result. You'll find this hat and many other new ones in my shop.

Solbær og rips / Black- and redcurrant
solvarme bær som det er en sann fryd å putte i munnen.
The last of the berries in the garden was picked today.
Tasty berries warmed by the sun, it's a real pleasure
to put them in the mouth.
Da plukkingen var over, smakte det ekstra godt med rips og vaniljesaus. Mmmmm.
When I'd finished picking the berries, redcurrant and vanilla sauce tasted extra good. Mmmmm

Helt kake / A piece of cake
En og hver av oss som baker kaker nå og da, har vel enkelte ganger ikke vært helt fornøyd med resultatet. Kanskje et lite (eller stort) uhell har gjort sitt til at vi har vært nødt til å ty til kamuflasjen kunster. Men sjekk denne bloggen (fikk linken av min datter) og jeg lover at vi kan føle oss som verdensmestere i kakebaking.
Quite a few of us who bake cakes now and then, have sometimes felt far from satisfied with the result. Maybe a small (or big) "accident" has forced us to use the skill of camouflage. Check this blog (my daughter sent me the link) and I promise that we'll all feel like world champions when it comes to baking cakes.

I drivhuset / In the greenhouse.
Etter en vinter og en vår der energinivået mitt oppholdte seg like
langt under 0-streken som gradene på Nordpolen, så det helsvart ut.
Men tomatplanter ble innkjøpt ( i stedet for å så selv), agurkplanter likeså. Jeg lover dere, de smaker det samme.
I didn't think there would be anything in my greenhouse this year.
After a winter and a spring where my level of energy was about
as far below zero as the degrees on The North Pole, it all looked
really depressing,but instead of buying seeds,I bought a few small plants, tomatoes and cucumber.
I promise you,they taste just as good.
Jeg har også en drueplante som jeg fikk av en nabo i fjor,
og bare se, det er faktisk druer her, tre klaser i alt, fine blå druer.
Med litt mer tid til modning blir det sikkert bra, for øyeblikket er de
utrolig sure.
I've also got this grape plant. A neighbour gave it to me last year,
and just look, there are grapes here, three bunches all together,
nice blue grapes. I have to give them a bit more time to ripen,
at the moment they are very sour.
