For thousands of years survival in Norway's countryside, where farms were miles from each other, meant complete self-sufficiency. Farmsteads were like small villages with several families living together and building their homes from logs and turf.

At Oslo's Norwegian Folk Museum, entire farmsteads have been transplanted here log-by-log by master carpenters who use traditional joinery techniques and knowledge of birch-bark roofs - a combination of birch bark and sod used since at least 300AD. These mini-villages also include elevated storehouses for food and textiles, as well as barns and saunas (not just for recreation, but also for laundry).

This open air museum has 160 buildings (mostly originals with a few reproductions), including one of the world's remaining stave churches dating back to 1200. The centuries-old wood is preserved by a traditional tarring method applied every 4 years.

There are also several city streets of "Old Town" Oslo with townhouses dating back to about 1700 and 19th and 20th Century interiors, including a mock-up of the apartment from Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll's House".

York Stopover 2. Plane Sailing

Sleep proved difficult in the stiflingly claustrophobic tiny bedroom.  Kitchen machinery humming and glass bottles smashing into bins at 6.30 a.m. didn’t help but ensured we rose in time for a typically over-filling and early English breakfast.  The main reason for staying in York being to visit the Yorkshire Air Museum, we discovered another advantage to the enforced start – a scarce bus was due…

Days Gone

Central Oregon is likely to always remain connected in my mind to a video game for Playstation called Days Gone. That’s because it was created by Bend Studios (located in Bend, Oregon) and uses actual locations in Oregon for the game map. Moreover, the main character in the game is a biker riding around a zombie filled, post apocalyptic Oregon, mostly avoiding cities by lurking in the forests,…

(1/2) Over the weekend I visited the 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum at Thorpe Abbotts and IWM Duxford so thought I’d share some pics in case it’s of interest to anyone!

The museum exhibits are mostly housed in the (original!) control tower pictured, the displays are a little scattershot so better if you’re already familiar with the history (i.e. watched mota) but it’s very personable with lots of personal collections & items!! Some of my fave things:

Detailed displays about the Bremen/Munster missions

I was really charmed by this map/diary- the missions the author flew are drawn on in the red lines & the simplicity of the handwritten notes is so stark and heartbreaking

THE FEZ!!!! (Actually belonging to Frank Murphy, but there you go)

(They had a whole display dedicated to Rosie as well which I didn’t take a picture of for some reason 😭 I think because it was mostly photos/info that weren’t necessarily ‘new’ to me esp having read the book but it was really sweet!)
