For this week's Sunday challenge: 'Something, someone or an event that impacted your life in some way.'

In 2007 Adrian took a job in Tananger, Norway and I joined him permanently in October. We stayed there for 5 years and I had a wonderful time. It was the first time I'd used a digital camera and I learned quickly. I'm now on my 4th model. We did lots of walking and I was living by the sea again for the first time in 60 odd years. I paid to have Norwegian lessons, and bought these books which helped me to meet and communicate with many lovely, now lifelong, friends, even though the vast majority of Norwegians speak very good English albeit with an American accent.

We returned to England at the end of 2012, but I made a trip in 2014. It was an experience of a lifetime.

I particularly liked the colloquialisms found in the 'Har det på tunga' book. The cartoon on the front cover illustrates the English phrase 'It's on the tip of my tongue'.
