Off to Norway and the city of Oslo
This time I didn't manage to get the suitcase unpacked from our trip to Istria before having to pack it again for Oslo. A few more jumpers went in! The temperature in Istria was about 20 degrees and I'm not expecting that in the Viking north.
This trip isn't a writing trip, but a visit for an art exhibition by one of the sculptors working in the studios here. Her name is Julia Vance and she's become a very good friend. Neil rates her sculptures very highly and I'm fascinated by her work because she sculpts three dimensional words and letters.
This is a big exhibition for her in Oslo and we're getting up at 3am to get a Ryanair flight which, we hope, is going to get us there in time for the launch! Fingers crossed. Another friend is lending us an apartment in Oslo for the weekend because it's apparently the most expensive city in Europe. There's no Wi-fi, so I won't be blogging (though I've scheduled a couple of posts) - a complete holiday for me! I'm looking forward to the exhibition, the party afterwards and to exploring my Viking roots.
