• FOTD 8/6/2023: Dent de lion

  

  It’s kind of difficult to choose which flower you want to share when you’re in a country filled with flowers. I’m in Norway currently and the fun thing is that I’m not on holiday (I’m accompanying my husband who’s here on work). This means I get to be here and do things at my pace…
