Language difficulties

We are trying to learn Norwegian. There aren't tat many native Norwegians in north Devon so we are using a cd and a book. It's slow going, but one day we'll be okay!

Shopping proves to be a challenge at times. The first time we went to Norway we had absolutely no idea on the type of milk we were buying; full fat, semi? And meat? A minefield. Beef; deer; horse? Who knew, because we certainly didnt.

We take packed lunches with us, partly as eating out with kids is expensive, and partly as the baby is allergic to dairy, so its easier to take our own stuff rather than try to expain.

However we forgot to take sandwich bags, so we bought some. 500 small sandwich bags. We thought.

Jim made a lovely picnic, then got out the sandwich bags. Which weren't.
