Tripping 2019
The need for supplies to cook dinner in a shared kitchen as going really rural tonight with no shops for miles, saw us searching for a larger town to shop in and settled on Hamar - well it found us. A reality check big time, when we realised the brass plaque outside at the door of Tante Gerda, (the bakery where we had afternoon tea, translation: Aunty Gerda), was in memory of someone shot by the Gestapo in 1944. Seemed wrong to photograph the plaque so settled on the cafe courtyard and Aunt Gerda’s knickers hanging in the balcony - the lupins are back.
