Photo Heart Connection - May

Joining in with Kat Sloma's Photo Heart Connection - do go and check out the others over on her website 

My husband is half Norwegian and has many relations living in Norway. One of these, his cousin Helga, was over for a conference and asked if she could visit us for the weekend. Of course we were delighted to see her, but unfortunately the weekend she was coming coincided with  a two day photography course in London that Brian had given me for my birthday. 

On the Saturday I headed off to London early, leaving the family to have a celebratory breakfast as  it was 17th May , Norwegian National Day, which is a very big deal in Norway but not usually much celebrated in  England. Busy on the course I didn't think much more about it until the afternoon when we had to go out and shoot in the streets around the studio where the training was, imagine my surprise and delight when I found this.

A Norwegian deli with  these wonderful celebration cakes complete with flag! it really connected me to the celebrations happening and home in my absence and with friends and family in Norway -  made my day!

Winchester Celebrates!

Couldn't resist popping into town with my camera at lunch time on Thursday when at last there was a sunny day to capture  the colourful flags celebrating at the olympics. I was bemused at first when they started to take down the Jubilee flags almost straight after the event, but was relieved when they replaced them with these colourful gems. Winchester was one of the cities with a big screen so I think they must have got a bumper allocation of flags that they used to good effect!
