Her kommer en liten bildeserie som forteller om søndagens gåtur i Solveien her på Nordstrand. Langs denne smale og svingete veien ligger vakre gamle boliger som perler på en snor. Ut mot gaten voktes de historiske eiendommene av hvitmalte stakittgjerder og porter i smijern. Min egen oldemor var en av mange som kom utenbys fra og som fikk jobb i ett av disse storslåtte husene. Der arbeidet hun som barnepike for en stor søskenflokk. Også i denne gaten har høsten meldt sin ankomst. Bladene gulner sakte, mens temperaturene fortsetter å synke nedover. Forrige søndag var likevel unntaket fra regelen. Mens vi gikk langs veien føltes det nærmest som om det lå vår i luften. Man ble lurt av solen som varmet en i ryggen og småfuglene som kvitret lykkelige blant trekronene. I de bratte bakkene ble jeg til og med nødt til å kaste jakken.
In this blogpost I wanted to share some photos from our Sunday walk. We mostly followed a lovely street called Solveien close to where I live. Along this narrow and winding road lie many beautiful old homes. White picket fences and dark iron gates guard these historical properties. As a young lady my great grandmother traveled here from a small valley in search of work. She ended up getting employed as a nanny in one of these large houses. Autumn has also gotten to this street. Slowly the leaves are turning yellow, while the temperatures continue to drop. This Sunday was somewhat an exception from the rule. It almost felt like spring was in the air. We were fooled by the warmth of the sun and the birds chirping happily in the trees. During our walk I even had to remove my jacket at one point.
Før jakken kom av.
Before I removed my jacket.
The shoes I was wearing this Sunday are the same ones I used during Tweed Run in Fredrikstad. They are newly made but have the classical style of old-fashioned Oxfords. This style of shoe has been popular for several decades. The dress I’m wearing was bought at a store called “Kollektivet” in Kristiansand. According to the seller, the garment was made in the 1940s. Since the dress gives such an authentic silhouette, it is one of my favorites. The fabric that the dress is made of makes it incredibly comfortable to wear.
Hatten jeg valgte denne søndagen er ny for meg. Min mormor var så heldig å finne denne (+en til) på et loppemarked til fem kroner stk. Det var jo litt av et funn! Før bruk har jeg børstet, festet noen løse tråder og likende. Hattene ble raskt gode som nye og vil få et nytt liv i min besittelse.
The hat I chose to wear this Sunday is new to me. My grandmother was lucky enough to find this (+ one more) at a flea market for five Norwegian kroners each. It was a very lucky find indeed. With a few small fixes they both became good as new. The little hats will have a new life in my possession.
