The Garden 2018

We harvested the last two rows of carrots today... some chard and baby white kale.  Still some more kale rows left in one garden...

Scandinavian Airlines food

I was on a number of Scandinavian Airlines flights and quite enjoyed their little snack boxes. Each was a pleasant surprise and wonderfully efficient packaging. 

Cute hunh?


I think other airlines could take a tip from them. They also put a great emphasis on the reduction of packaging in particular single use plastics. I just covered from chatting with an Air Canada flight steward that Air Canada also recycles their single use plastic cups when they’re coming back into Canada. I think they should make more of a big deal of that myself.

Stavanger Sights

A wonderful Raveler was kind enough to meet me at the airport hotel and take me for a little drive around Stavanger. Even though it was dark we saw the three swords which commemorate the unification of Norway - and if I understood the war which resulted in the Vikings seeking other places to live. If they’d stayed they would have become the new kings slaves. So, understandably they sailed off looking for greener pastures. Much to the dismay of those who were in the pointy end of the sword. 

The port was quite pretty and I wished I’d arrived in the daylight. 

Stavanger Airport Knitting

There’s a little knitting station set up at the airport to help you pass the time. Though I must say I don’t encourage you to arrive early here.

So the churches are bars and night clubs. The new religion is drink it seems.
