Grøtfest!

Yesterday some neighbours organized a cosy little event: "Grøtfest", or in english "porridge party". The idea of this seemingly annual event is that all the neighbours within the Ådnanes community are invited to come have rice porridge in a pre-christmas setting. Many people showed up, and though the barn we were in was cold, the atmosphere was really nice. While I do not know any of the neighbours really well, there does seem to be a collection of sincere and nice people gathered in this corner of the world. People gathered, enjoyed their servings of rice porridge with butter, sugar and cinnamon, and sat together chatting for a good while. "Julenissen" showed up for a brief moment with a gift for the children that were present: A package with a mandarin and "kakemenn", which is apparently a classic combo. I did not take any good pictures because it was quite dark. I really enjoyed this event, frozen toes and all.
