Beautiful weekend
We had another relaxing weekend in beautiful surroundings. Hubby, dogs and I stayed at a mountain hotel this time (yes, indoor plumbing!) It's at the top of a valley called Gudbrandsdalen (ab. 4 hours north of Oslo.)
930 m above sea level, it's one of the oldest mountain hotels right in Peer Gynt country. The old buildings were so lovely and the food was delicious.
Even the birds had their own apartment.
The guest room wing had standard hotel rooms, but the view from the room was breathtaking.
We went for walks with the dogs in the woods - a sprinkling of snow in places. In the afternoon we drove further up in the mountains.
On the way home yesterday we took a scenic route to catch a glimpse of Rondane, (a mountain range). It was very cloudy, but the clouds lifted just enough to catch this. Glorious!
Sewing? Knitting? Yes, I had both with me (of course!) - but not a stitch all weekend. I blame the lighting in the room ....

ReplyDeleteDu verden for et nydelig hotel dere har vært på. Ser jo helt skjønt ut på bildet i alle fall.
ReplyDeleteDu har en utrolig flott blogg og lager mye fint. Ha en finfin torsdag.
Flotte bilder! Skjønner dere har hatt en super tid der;fint å ha hund som også koser seg:-)
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos! It is amazing how the Internet now makes it possible for women around the world to connect, especially all of us who love the needle arts! Stop by Quilt History Reports and check my list of previous post-subjects. Some are long like a story with lots of photos and some are short with a few photos. I love to research and write about quilt history! The more quilts that are made, the more future quilt historians will have to write about so keep up the good work! karenquilt.blogspot.com
