Hi there all. Just got back from Bergen last night. Flights were ok just really stressful travelling alone with 2 kids and a pushchair - NIGHTMARE!!!

We all had an amazinf time in Bergen. It's just sooooo chilled. Everyone is really friendly (and they all speak english). It's also really child friendly, I've never seen some many prams in one place in my life. I think it's got something to do with the amazing maternity leave you get. Something like 18 months full pay. And the father can take it instead of the mother on the same pay!!! Hence the masses of babies in Norway!

It was great to see Alan again. It's tough being away so much. I've posted a rare pic of us all together just to prove that he does exist as I'm sure some of you are doubtful. The top 2 pictures were the views from our hotel onto the harbour. My mum thinks it looks like Balamory! The other pics were taken at the top of the hill looking over Bergen. You get the very scary fløbanen to the top. Good day out for the kids though.

There's just too much to tell suffice to say that I'm really looking forward to moving at the end of July. We've got a house, Heather's got a place at the International School. All that's left is for us to buy a left hand drive car and pack up.

Will keep you posted on dates, etc.
