Another #BrexitBonus. 🙄 #LifeInNorway #NorExit

I love that the Norwegian margarine factory is painted to look like a giant block of margarine. 😆 #Oslo #LifeInNorway

Båntjern near #Vettakollen is one of my favourite spots near #Oslo. Great for swimming in the summer! #LifeInNorway

Then, when the ice melts, the grit is left lying on the ground. So every year the council cleans all the streets to collect it up again. It’s a remarkable (and presumably expensive) effort, and explains why #Oslo looks so clean all year round! #LifeInNorway
