I had planed to take my bike to work now after the holiday but there has been so much raining so the bike has been left at home.... But I could finally make it on Friday morning! When I went home in the afternoon I passed foot bridge that has been inaugurated this week. It is very beautiful and I read a sweet story in the newspaper about an old lady that was so happy because now she could go and visit her friends much easier.
We have a food festival in our town this weekend so when I got closer with my bike I could feel all kind of fragrances. There's all kind of food from different parts of the world. I visited the farmers market when I waited for the family to join me.
When they came we beguine with a look around and study all the tent servings which are placed around a very big tent with tables and benches. After that we split up and everyone in the family bought different dishes. Other years we have been gathering in the tent. But this Friday afternoon was so very popular, the tent was crowded and filled with people in all ages so we sat on the grass in the park. Last year I ate Ethiophian food as I spent four weeks in that country during my education and that brings so many memories back.
Deep-fried Camembert with cloudberry jam.
It has become a tradition for us to have this dessert after the dinner, but we are usually so replete so we share one.

ooh Ella. that plate of food looks so delicious. I want some cloudberry jam. I've never heard of it. but the name alone makes me want it! what a beautiful name for a berry. and a jam. and it's such a gorgeous color too. your blog is one of my favorites because I'm introduced to these lovely things -food, flowers, traditions - that are unfamiliar to me yet very interesting. happy day to you Ella.
What a wonderful festival to come upon while riding your bike! The food looks delicious, especially the Camembert with cloudberry jam!
Thank you for reminding me at the cloudberry. I searched this berry in the net, because I didn't know it. You have already written about these berries in your blog. I found an article in german on Wikipedia. It sounds interesting. Perhaps I'll try to cultivate one in my garden if I get some seeds. I'll ask a friend in Finnland for the seeds...
I love that little anecdote about the woman who now has a way to visit her friends. There is such symbolism in the building of a bridge!
