Friends have been visiting at the cabin. When they arrived yesterday we greeted them with rømmegrøt and spekemat(take a look at the videos on this link). Unfortunately the weather was grey so we ate indoors, but the huge cabin windows still gave us a great view of fjords and mountains, framed by the millions of roses.
A little later we took the ferry over to Edøy, at Smøla, to watch the outdoor historical play Fru Guri av Edøy.
Edøy church was built in 1190, and the play showed is the daily life from that period, leading up to the building of the church.
Through life and death, happiness and sorrows, deep pains and rejoicing pleasure, we followed Fru (Mrs) Guri and her family.
A mixture of professionals and amateurs gave ife to the performance. I laughed and cried, and felt proud to be a woman, following the paths of strong foremothers.
A church fire made me hold my breat....I forgot it was "only" a play.
Summer is the peak period for many historical plays in Norway. Fru Guri av Edøy follows in this tradition. The story is good and manage to capture your interest through the whole play, the scenery with the real nature surroundings is superb.
I've got a deeper knowledge of the life of people who built this country. I am a richer human today.
