We travelled north to Valer stopping along the way to service the van. We arrived at Helen Davey's farm. Helen is the sister of our friend Andy from Shrewsbury.

No one seemed to be around. I rang the door bell just to be sure.

The cat (which we later found out is called The Other) exuded an air of authority and seemed to be keeping an eye on things!

This sign on the front door reassured us we'd come to the right place.

Just downhill from the house is this wetland area.

It's a lovely place to sit around in.

There are a couple of attention seeking lambs.

The cows came down from the pasture for a drink.

Helen and her partner Hans Kristian came home. We introduced ourselves.

Helen does all the work around the farm.

Later on Helen's daughter Ruth and her husband Christian who are doctors in Oslo and are visiting came home. They have their two young boys with them.

Today we travelled 42 miles (68 kilometres).
