What we did on our holidays

What did we do in Norway? We ate fine food, in small quantities. We visited a sculpture park and proved that you can take the boys out of Britain, but you can't take the Britain out of the boys - especially our 'Carry On…' sense of humour. We nursed half-litres of bog-standard beer at c. £6 a glass and talked to interesting people (not just women). We walked, and cycled a lot, and took a boat trip which included a 'rip-the-head-off-yourself' lunch of shrimps pulled out of the sea and on to our plates. We went to the architectural museum, the botanical gardens, the opera house and many other sophisticated places, and a great soul night.

Here are some pictures. The rest are here. First up - James responding sensitively to Norway's completely sober and mature understanding of sexuality and the human body.
