She was in our kitchen from my childhood home, cooking breakfast. I told her that there was something I wanted to tell her, then I whispered in her ear: "Jeg elsker deg, bestemor." (these were the first Norwegian words that I ever spoke to her beside "takk for maten" which was the only Norwegian she ever taught me.

She replied with something that I couldn't understand, to which I frowned and replied "Jeg forstår ikke."

She smiled and gave me big hug and suddenly I was much smaller than her, I'm nearly 2m tall and she was just a little over 1.5m so this was strange to me at first.

Then she pulled back a little an

I'm going through my late grandfather's photos (the ones that didn't make it into his albums) and came across these two with some norsk written on the back. I am currently learning norsk but trying to decipher these handwritten captions on the back is driving me bonkers. Was wondering if r/Norway could offer any assistance. Thanks in advance!!
